Front Tire wear weirdness?
What causes foam Front Tire wear like this?
The left side is inside, right is outside. It isn't as drastic as depicted, but I hope you get the idea, tire wearing towards the middle inside, about .4mm smaller after a day of racing than both outer edges. The outer edge cones slightly as expected. This is on a SpeedMerchant Pro-10 WGT with Jaco Lilac spec tires.

kinda hard to tell from that drawing, but theres a particular wear pattern I see when the fronts are REALLY working well... looks like maybe the middle part of the tread is wearing smaller than the rest, the smaller wearing part is toward the inside of the tread, but not all the way to the inner edge, the outer "corner" stays rounded, the inner "corner" gets an almost sharp edge to it.
Don't see it often in r/c, used to see it in go karts a lot

Yep - that pretty much describes it. Middle inside of the tire wears out quicker than either the inner/outer edge of the tire.
I was trying to adjust it out of the car, but the car has superman grip through the corners and can turn on a dime. If you say that is working REALLY well, I will leave well enough alone.

May be a silly question, but is the body hitting the tire ?
