I have started to notice some serious edging on the outside edges of my tyres (like half the tread depth of the centre and inside edges) so I am assuming that the car is not running enough negative camber to suit my driving style!
As I am probably going to have to take it into Protyre or similar to get it adjusted - what does everyone recommend?

I have sort of assumed -1.0 to -1.25 degrees to make much of a difference, but I will go over the standard settings if that is what it turns out to be on!!!

Just as a matter of interest what tyre pressures are you running with?

Beefy - have run with 37 front and 32 rear for the last 7,000 miles (now at 8,700) for more steering precision and to take out some of the tyre soginess in fast corners.

Any suggestions?

I ran for a while with 27/25 but found it a bit more likely to wash out in the corners. Now running 32/30 and pleased with the way it seem to corner now. Tyre Wear is quite bad on the tyre edges but the actual grip levels on the main tyre are fine for now with 8000 miles on the clock.

Taken from the memory bank of a fancy laser alignment rig at a well known wheel/tyre place in my region :
Front Camber -0deg 55min to +0deg 5min
Toe -0deg 4min to +0deg 5min

Rear Camber -1deg 40min to -0deg 40min
Toe -0deg 4min to +0deg 5min

All per wheel - standard settings
