Rear Alignment

Hey guys.

The focus is always on the front, and it seems folks are gravitating to -2.75 with 0 toe after some testing on the track.

Just curious where you all are ending up with your rear alignment? I've gone as far as -2.2, but it seemed too much based on treadwear and loose rear traction coming off the corner. I've gone back to -2.0 and it helped, but I still wonder if less would be better.

Also, I've stayed consistent with 0.3" toe in the rear based on my shop's recommendation, but no one seems to have a good idea what rear toe should be.

Obviously the tires you run will have an impact on this (RE-71R and R888R for me), but what have been you all's experiences?

Thanks.

I always run toe in on the rears.

As you pick up speed and up to speed, the toe in will start toeing out. Even at speed you want a little toe in.

I ended up at -2.0 and 0.3”. Wear looks good and is very stable with good grip.
