Default tire problems

I have race tires 245/40/17 and 275/40/17 lowered with JIC FLT-A2. I noticed that the outter part of the tires are not wearing much or not at all, only the mid and inner part are wearing. Do you think i'll need camber bolts to put get more positive camber and have more rubber on the ground?? would that be better in terms of handling? or the more negative camber, the better the handling?

also what brand offer camber bolts for the rear?

Thx guys

What kind of racing do you do?

If it's straight-line stuff, stand the tires up so that they are vertical so that you maximize your tread contact.

If you're doing road racing, autocrossing, or other non-straight-line stuff, then you aren't trying hard enough in the corners.

Of course, double-check your rules to see whether these adjustments are permitted or not.

For road coursing only...
It does look like i have too much camber since the outter surface is off the ground and it doesn't feel good going into highspeed corners...would it be better off to get more tread contact for high speed corners?

anyone know what's the ideal setting for the JIC?

Thanks

could it possibly be due to tire pressures?
