Default Camber for Michelin Cup Sport ZPs

Anyone with experience with these tires find a good camber setting that works for a C6 with these tires? Getting ready to have the car re-aligned, had -1.2 F & -1.3 R with the recommended tires pressures. Had excessive wear on all 4 outside shoulders. I run road courses with no banking, 2010 ZR1. Thanks in advance!

Michelin recommends 1.5 to 3.0 degree's camber with the Cup tires. If your seeing excess outside wear with 1.3 deg I'd probably shoot for 2 -2.5 degree and keep an eye out on wear and temperature across the surface of the tire.

Thanks for the response. I'm just hoping to find a happy medium alignment that will work for the cups, and also not wear the inside of my street tires as it is not a dedicated track car. I'm going to crank in more - camber, just not sure where to go next...

No, not at all. Just excessive wear on all the outside shoulders...
