Is there something else i should look at or is this just normal for xray. My friend has the new KM and same track, same qualifying time, with almost the same gear ratios, he only gets about 1mm wear. Forgot to mention, normal shores depending on traction i run a 35F/37R or 37F/40R. Any ideas?
Try using the KM springs and oil in the xray shocks. More weight transfer to the rear will reduce tirewear in the rear(but has other disadvantage`s). Soft springs will get more grip and reduce tirewear. The KM have softer springs standard i think. And a longer upper link rear reduces cambergain wich can also help with tirewear.
Hope this will help you.
