Default another autox another understeering slow runs

So I'm faster now then before. The people that are usually 5-6 seconds faster than me are now only 2seconds faster.

The bench mark I'm using is running M Roadster with a nice GC setup and sway bars. Also more importantly he has been autoxing for about 4+ years.

I use him as the bench mark because he is also running street tires (Azenis).

Anyways his car rotates beautifiully. My car has wayyy tooo much grip in the rear. I can get the rear end to step out on the slaloms by getting on the gas but that's not anywhere else on the course.

I think part of my problem is that both my front tires outer edges are worn out. I'll need to replace them soon but I want to make them last through this season which ends at November (approximately 8 more events). I think my tires can last 2 maybe 3 more events.

I already have about -2degree camber. I can bring it up to -3 with the use of the camber correction bolt.

However I guess my real question is, do you think the worn edges can be making my understeering problem worse?


BTW I'm running Toyo Proxes T1-S 235/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rears.

Front Drivers side






Front Passenger side






BTW my rears are similarly worn. :dunno:
