Subject: Re: [E36M3] tire wear and camber

	The other option if you decide to run lots of Neg Camber in both the
front and rear of your M is to just buy less expensive tires for the street.
My current camber setup is 2.7 Front and 1.9 Rear. I'm now running
Bridgestone RE71's in the 245/40/17 size....At $108 ea who cares if I get
10-12K vs 18-20K out of a $250 Michelin etc with stock Camber
settings.....I'll take the savings and apply it towards my R compound
budget!
	The RE71's work just fine and give very little up in terms of street
performance....and where can I drive a M3 safely at 10ths on the street
anyways? Just my .02

	Regards,
	Steve
