Installed and aligned my new PS 2 yesterday 285/35/19 - 255/40/18.. Any feedback here on these specs given.. My old PS 2 was done in only 10k miles hoping this set last a little longer.

 

wait you got a aliegment done after getting new tires?? Hmm, i maybe wrong but i thought you only do that when getting suspienion, rims and just checking up on the aleigment....

 

Well this is the 2nd time in 4yrs getting an alignment I always get one when putting on new tires. Wouldnt u want to make sure ur aligment is in spec so your tires wear evenly?.

 

Well that is true, but if your getting the same spec. tire i wouldnt :/ but you have given me food for thought :0). I learn something new every day.

 

Yeah i hear you,everything is running straight and dead on now.Before it was all over the place. Im a noob with all this alignment crap,this is what they recommend to me to do. This is a well known place out on Long Island as well. Not GoodYear or Sears type off place.

 

I agree with the idea of getting an alignment when getting new tires, unless you recently had the wheels aligned in which case it's overkill and probably a waste of money.

 

When spending over a G for tires i say whats an extra $100 bucks for an alignment.Just to make sure you know

 

I would get the camber adjusted a little closer on the right front. You will still see inside tire feathering with that negative of camber.

I personally also adjusted my rear camber as far towards 0 as I could get it and 10k miles later, no feathering and it still grips the road good

 

Fixed for you so you sounds like you know what your talking about.


Also with camber the more you have to a certain point you get more traction while cornering. I would never run less than -1 unless it is being set up as a drag car. Also running front and rear camber the same helps eliminate some understeer vs the OEM setup of more rear than front camber.

 

Even when drag racing, you want camber in the rear. When the rear is loaded under power, it squats, causing positive camber. Having some negative dialed in while the car is "static" will give you better traction.

I can't see anything from that pic. Any chance you could give us a bigger one?

 

I dont have a scanner just pics from my phone.. I'll try taking pics again off the sheet.. They did tell me that something Front Right was off and not adjustable but did'nt go into specifics .The car drives awesome now but was curious as to what exactly is going on.

 

Thanks to everyone else whom responded..
