143WM has a LOT of camber, as it seems most do. I swapped the tires around at the first CI and again at the second, I now have mains with not a lot of tread on the inside and the outside, but virtually full depth in the center. My thought is that this is due to excessive camber combined with the high drag (wheel barely spins) of the Matco bearings, scrubbing off a lot of rubber on touchdown.
It's been suggested that I put a washer between the gear leg and the axle on the lower mounting bolts. Scott, could you weigh in on this or is there a better way of reducing the camber. I sent photos to Vans after completion but just got "that's normal" in reply. Looking for thoughts from others thinking about fixing this before buying new tires.
