Now I also changes tires while I was at it, and am noticing a lot of tire wear up front and about 90% rear tire life. Im talking bald tires upfront. How are you guys mitigatig this? Ive got 3/3/2 in fr/ctr/rear. Would changing my diff oils help balance thigs out? If so, what would be the recomended diff oils?
Thanks!
Do you like the way it handles now ? If so changing the center diff oil (thicker) will change the way the truck accelerates and turns under/off power .
Tires are a consumable item and unfortunately softer tires = better grip but also wear faster . You can rotate the F/R tires every few runs or run a firmer compound for longer wear .
If you are running a high bite surface its par for the course , I have run at tracks where a set of tires were smoked in 4-5 runs .....
