Is anyone running the track alignment all the time? I track a few times a year and would like to stick with the track alignment. Will this cause abnormal or excessive tire wear? Can anyone with a track alignment please let me know?

How much do you drive on the street? I leave mine set at the track settings all the time, but I only do about 3,000 miles a year, and half of that is getting to and from the track. I swap tires before and after track events, and I haven't seen any unusual wear on my street tires because of it.

On my track pack it was on the FP road course settings all the time, OEM wheels and tires. My R, not so much.

I have mine set to track all the time. I daily drive it. I love it like this and wouldn't go back.

I'll be running as much camber and caster as I can. Not worried one bit about it.
That is possible with a harder rubber compound found on most ultra/extreme summer tires. On a softer street/track tire, FORGEDABOUDID! The additional camber will destroy the softer rubber in no time (street daily driven).

Thanks for the all the advice/feedback. I only put 2000-3000 miles per year so I’m going to stick with the track alignment for both street and track.
