Even Tire Wear on Staggered SetUp
Last fall, I ran a set of 225/255 star specs on AP2 wheels. To my surprise, the fronts and rears hit the wear bars at the same time. I couldn't believe it. No camber wear, less than a 1/32 deviation across the tread depth of all 4. Absolutely insane. Has anyone else experienced the same? Granted, I did track with them, and ran the Dragon and surrounding roads a lot with them as well, but I was still super super surprised.

Just swapped to 225/255 star specs today. What alignment are you running? I may have to copy you.
Love them so far over the RE050s

Front
-6.7 caster
-1.8 camber
.05 toe L/R - Total front toe .1
Rear
-2.8 camber
.1 toe L/R - total rear toe .2
Keep in mind they car was driven hard, so your results may vary. You'll love the star specs - especially in the wet.
Alignment as of Monday on 255/40/17 x4 Falken RT-615k
Front
-6.9 caster
-2.4 camber
0.00 toe L/R
Rear
-3.2 camber
-.11 toe L/R - total rear toe .22

Good deal. That first alignment is pretty close to what I was going to go for only I was going do 0 toe at the front.
F 1.75 / 0 / 6.75
R 2.75 / 0.15 per side
Rainy season, if you can call it that, coming up in TX. I was on RE050s at the wear bars when it hit last year, I was at the tire place the next day.
