My new Parada after 1 trackday.

For the first laps of Woodbridge on a wet greasy track I told by the marshals that this was not a place for testing my drift skills, new tyres and a wet surface do not go together. As the track dried out an hour later and the new tyres scrubbed in, grip vastly improved, they felt like my Toyo T1r's which I'm familiar, only better. All was going well until late in the afternoon when noticed a bit off wear, as in the photo.
It's the nearside wheel outside edge that is worn a bit
I know Woodbridge is killer for tyres but I only bought a new set last Thursday, the other 3 tyres are fine.

Poor wheel alignment and hard cornering. The paradas are super soft tbf.

 

[.Kev.]

I wouldn't use Parads for track.

 

[Bluebeard]

What pressure were you running??

 

[Soot1e]

Only had alignment done in February but will have it checked again. Why wouldn't you use Paradas on track Kevster?

 

[Soot1e]

What pressure were you running??

30 at the front when cold.

 

[fearless]

Yeah, technically speaking that's pretty fucked now.

That on standard suspension geometry?

30 at the front when cold.

No wonder! That will have been about 50psi when hot! lol.

All standard except Eibach Pro springs and a touch over 1deg. camber.

I've never gauged them hot, always assumed starting from 30 cold they would end up about 35'ish when hot.

 

[sideways danny]

well you know what assumption is dont you?

 

[Soot1e]

Didn't want to get my fingertips dirty.

I've seen a few sets now that have been chewed up on track days, great for road use though.

Your tyre pressure wont help mind.

 

[sideways danny]

haha!!

that tyre really is ruined though! I've done days at bedford with cars on paradas and they held up and performed really well

 

[Soot1e]

Well, lesson learned. You are never too old to be told.

i ran a set of paradas at rockingham and oulton in a megsport and was hooning, i could still have used them afterwards, some major alignment/camber issues there.
