Will like to know what you will do to preserve/lengthen life span of touring car tires(rubber tires, 13.5 blinky), especially the fronts?


I know using thicker shock oil may help. What else?


Thanks for sharing.

Limit scrubbing of the fronts by using less steering lock and being smoother with steering input overall.

Not running a spool, instead a diff with thick fluid?

This definitely helps preserve dcj's and Cvd's, when the diff can move a little it can prevent twisting.

^Which means that the tyre it is attached to can move about more freely as well, meaning less scrub and less tyre wear.

Seeing that you are only running 13.5, you could experiment with less downforce, that would also reduce tyre wear. But this can also backfire quite spectacularly....

I'm going to try less front caster, less ride height split this weekend and see what happens.

I increased the front shock oil by about 200cst.


Decreased front caster from 4 to 2 degrees.


I can see a noticeable improvement on tire life and yet not too much difference on the performance of the car.
