    I’ve just posted a thread that isn’t a plus for my wallet :lol:

    Wait until Val’s burning through Pirelli’s rather than encouraging growth on the Landsails

My Indy agreed and reduced the camber down to just under the minimum spec. Car still feels the same and cornering is still fine. Tire wear with the fronts has equalized. Very hard cornering has probably been compromised but I do not mind in fact I wish the rear and front were the same size, for less understeer and the ability to rotate them.
      I've had the same in mine, comparatively much more wear on the 1/4 inner side of the tyre compared to the full tyre width (Pirelli 255/30 R19 91Y XL PZERO). I've just done the alignment at the dealer back to standard, don't know what was it when I bought it though.

      And fronts to rear has been about two rear changes for every front change.
      If in doubt, flat out.
