tires allignment help

i've got 2 neova ad07 tires on front with inside worn out a bit , want to drive on local time attack but can't decide leave or not that worn out sides on the inside or change sides . i've got -3 degree negative camber . need some advise on which side would work better for track.

Depends on a bit more info, suspension etc. If it's flat but the rest looks new then it's obvious you aren't driving hard enough on the street . With -3 you should technically be using the rest of the tire in a track situation (assuming your experienced and can push the care safely) at that point so it'll only come into play if it's raining and your going into a braking zone hard. If I remember right they're directional so you could swap back's to fronts if you want or have them flipped at your tire store. Again too general of a question.

Use the meatier part of the tire on the outside. Keep an eye on the bald spot. As soon as you see cords, then the tires are done. Try to keep wheel spin down to a minimum too. That includes aggressive slip angles. That should help save the tire life.

What are you running for toe?

If you have adjustable camber plates, consider setting a less aggressive camber for the street and switching to to your more aggressive camber at the track. You'll need to have an alignment shop tell you how many turns of the tie rod you need to do on each side to bring your toe back where you want it. It may sound like a lot of trouble, but I've gotten to the point where it takes me about 15 minutes to go from one setting to another.
