Live axle, and tyre wear Vs pressures.

[Zephyr Speedshop]

Hopefully some of the more knowledgeable guys can school me on this.

So Im relatively new to RWD on track with my fisher fury that has a English live axle.

Last year at Goodwood (particularly extreme example) I was absolutely nukeing the outside should of my rear tyres. And ended up running a few psi more that than I would normally to try and stop the tyre rolling over so much.

This was on A0008s with a square 185 section all-round.

I've now moved to 185 front and 205 rears and using A052s.

Have you guys got any stragies for my so Im not leaning on the outside shoulder quite so hard?

More negative camber would be a massive help but obviously not an option.

Is there something I can do with my driving style and maybe pressures so I'm not immediately killing them.

Car weights 590kg. Not that powerful at 130bhp
I usually target 18psi hot however I'm not sure where I need to be with the a052s yet.

I'm at brands on Monday so I can report back my findings




Hairpin at Bedford so pretty low speed.

You need to get the live axel setup properly, they can be bent to achieve what you need, toe and camber.

No idea who still does it though but would assume someone who preps rally escorts could help

How does that work with the half shafts? Certainly in the English axles there is zero provision for any angle changes?
