I need new fronts, Few things I never checked, maybe I should have.
I never checked factory alignment. I have 7800k
But have been to the track twice, last time out I wore through
to wire on extreme inside of both tires.
this normally means to much negative camber or toe is out of whack.
Or maybe they just wear out that fast, my research says not.
So new ones will be here this week, I will mount and have them checked
out. Then decide on setting best for overall use.
I can spare being a little slower at track, for longer tire wear

People have mentioned cheaper tires.
But the biggest difference between R and other GT350's
is the wheel and tires, to me you lose what it can do.
In other words, should have bought the cheaper car LOL.
I love tracking it, super fun, it means consumables are going
to cost more or I drive it less, guess I should start saving my pennies.

All the reading I did, suggested around 18k per set.
tracking it, wears them much faster for sure.
I did not set it to track alignment Like ford suggested,
I am sure faster, but also pain in the *** getting it aligned
before and after, also likely wear much quicker.
I am real curious to see what original setting are and
suppose to be, then I will have better Idea of whats real.
