Ya ya ya you famous now
Great info. Thanks Al
Once again Al coming to the rescue with great information!! Thanks again brother.
Thanks for the video Al! As always, great stuff!! What alignment specs would you suggest for front / rear for a ‘94 Miata with 200 tread wear tires for track days?
Wait till you learn about how aerodynamics is affected by toe, that one will surprise you. Hint, toe out improves aerodynamics, and the more toe out you run, the better, aerodynamically. I know it's bad for tire longevity, and handling, but from a strictly aerodynamics POV toe out is better than toe in, by a wide margin. Toe out moves the turbulent wake from the tire outboard, while toe in moves the wake inboard.
What alignment specs would you recommend for driving on the track?
If the tires are directional you can't swap the front tires.
You can to see if it’s a tire problem. Direction tires are really important in wet weather
the directional rating is usually for wet driving, ive ran numerous tires "backwards" when I would rotate my tires for track days, and it gave me no issue.
@Kirrel224 I can see it would only really matter in the wet for water displacement but it might hydroplane driven in the rain on a street driven car.
