Camber Setting for Michelin PS4S?

Hi all,

For track and twisty canyon carving, what camber setting should I set my Michelin PS4S? I believe they have 300TW.

Thanks in advance!

For the track you want -3 up front, but depending on how many street miles you do, that may be too much. Keep toe around 0 to reduce wear as well.

You may find a compromise setting like -2.5 may be better

Thanks! Is track setting depending on tire TW rating? For example, if I went for R compound, should I increase even more negative camber than say the PS4S?

Technically yes, just as we should check the alignment after every trackday and have different settings per track.
In the real world, we have been very successful with -3 front and -2 rear in a variety of M generations, tires and tracks.

For my MP4S, I run -2.7 up front with 0 front toe, and -2.0 rear camber with a bit of toe in. Felt noticeably better than stock on both street and track.
