use tire temps to help determine where the camber shiuld be. When the tire is even across the suface, your at the right camber.

Since we're dancing on the dead (threads), I'll share.

The correct answer is: it depends.

Are you trying to maximize wear and contact patch?
Are you trying maintain heat?
Are you working with a stiff or soft sidewall?
Are you using camber to achieve a driveability solution?
Are you trying to maximize straight line speed?
Dynamic Camber or no Dynamic Camber?

2.5 degrees may be the right answer but then again so might 6 degrees.

That ^^^^. I've had between 2* to 4+* up front and anywhere between 1* and 3* in the rear... they were all "correct" for the time/place/application.
