Normal tire wear for Pilot SC2?

[gfcobra04]

Just the factory alignment. Going to change it to the track alignment ASAP though

That’s the reason for the unusual, where on the outside. This is what I have on my 2020 500:

I even keep this for street use also.

I did manage to get a lap in on my own my best time was a 1:30:9

Impressive, you definitely know what you're doing .

I have the same wear pattern on my other car that is camber challenged. More camber is the answer.

Toe out on the rear? Interesting. Do you do drifting or something where you want it to fishtail?

Tire wear looks normal to me for stock alignment. A bit off topic but do any Canadian HPDE organizers (something like SCCA or Chin or HOD in the US) run events at Mosport? I have family in the area and would like to schedule a trip back around a track event.

Positive toe is toe in. He is running quite a bit of toe out in front.

Ahh, I'm backwards. My bad.

There are some. Trillium BMW CCA hosts really great quality DE events. This is proper driving school with classes, skidpad, fully instructed driving and etc.

You can also check out DriveTeq, they are more expensive, but offer goot track time, small crowd and more "upscale" experience with lunches, snacks and drinks and etc.

Few more are listed on their website: https://canadiantiremotorsportpark.com/pages/with-your-vehicle

Actually that is less than 1/8” (.125 is 1/8”) toe out in front per side.

It's in degrees so who knows. I don't have a formula to convert. There probably is one.

depends a bit on diameter of the tire... I believe on our cars .1 degree is approx 1/16" though, so roughly 1/8" total toe out.

1/4" toe out would kill tires insanely fast.

my memory may be wrong on this though.

I wish Ford would publish inch numbers along with the degree's. I do think you are correct on the numbers.

I would think this amount of toe out would dart all over the place on the street.

My alignment is very similar. Not darty on street at all, but that's bc I reduce camber back to 1* for street, which shifts toe back to slight toe in. IOW -0.1* track at -2.7* camber, then +0.1 street with 1.5* camber.

So we all know how it goes, decide to go to the track and "take it easy" but by the third session you're going as fast as you can.. Yesterday was my first time really pushing this 350R on a track that is very high speed (Mosport/Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) and extraordinarily hard on the driver side tires. Having said that, would this be considered normal tire wear given those circumstances? I'm using the factory alignment specs.. Guessing thats -1 deg and mild toe in

Also, I killed my starter.. Didn't even know that was an issue. This particular track gives you two options, short shift at 6500-6800, or wring it all the way out to 8250.. Just the way it is. Certain corners I would approach the braking point right at 8100-8200 RPM, so yeah. There's that

Anyways, does this indicate an alignment problem?

The starter is very close to the passenger side header. One time my car wouldn't start at the track until it cooled off a little. I since put a heat wrap blanket around my starter.

I think it's this one:
