Does Camber Damage The Tyre Wall?

Just wondering if having too much camber can make the tyres wall collapse or deteriorate,

i have some tyres on the front and they are terribly noisey, wondering if its because they were cheapish or wether an expensive/higher quality tyre would be affected by camber, i know they will wear out on the inside, im taking about noise levels due to the structure of the tyres and it being cambered in , not sure how many degrees i have on the front but its clearly more than the stock rear camber...

There's no way you can run enough camber on the street to damage the sidewall before you wear all the tread off the inside edge.

Caveat. Answer does not take into account cheap as shit tyres, as they should not be used, and therefore I have no experience of them. :P

i was thinking if its riding on the inside edge all the time, its copping the brunt of the work which is not really how they were designed to be on a wheel,

but anyway, must just be some shit tyres then , looks like the actual tread is up and down bit, looks a bit strange....

time to save for somthing decent then. :closedeyes: do many people rotate tyres front to back or do they put the sticky $$$ tyres on the back and have cheaper tyres on front?

Always have good tyres all the way around. I use the same. Anyone who puts cheapies on the back is not really thinking about it properly. New ones go on the front, then halfway through their life they go to the back and new new one on the front again. Deals with the slightly faster inside edge wear on the fronts and compensates by spinning them up on the rear a bit more often.

With na power I'm all for cheapies on the rear and half decent on the front. Still can't really break traction so it's not an issue

Easy to spin the wheels with an NA. Surprisingly though still got more grip out of near bald Pirellis than I did from fairly meaty Kumho's

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
