I have currently started Racing VTA and I keep getting what I call the ring of death on the inside of my tires? it totally cuts the inside line of the tire off I have tried different camber .5' at a time and it still seems to do it until I am unable to still drive the car hard I run .5' of toe out at each wheel for a total of 1' toe out could this be what is causing this? have you seen this before?

thanks in advance for your help and still keeping in touch with us little people.

Bill.

Bill and Paul,

Everyone at our track gets the Ring of Death on VTA cars as well after running a while. Its usually toward the very end of tire life though and considered normal because of tire/wheel/insert construction (as Paul stated above).

Just FWIW.
