suspension adjustment through tire wear?


Heye Peter, I know you can tell a lot about what the suspension is doing through how the tire is wearing, rippling and such. Well I haven't played with my penske much since I bought it used, and I don't really know how it was setup. Here's what I can feel on the track, if you have any advice or if it's a 'get that shitter into my shop pronto' let me know.

I found that when my tires are starting to go the rear will tear almost like slicing cheese, not balled or rippled, but peeling off.

The front is always planted pretty well, though the rear will slide coming out of 4, and a little in the bowl and sometimes slide an inch or two over the pavement transitions.

Hard on the gas, coming out of 7 I get a jiggle in the front, same coming out of ten hard over the transitions. Was thinking maybe the wheel could rebound a little faster to stick with thepavement, or will this just make it bounce around more through multiple pavement transitions.

Got any info for me?

Also, how fast could you get me a set of woodcraft framesliders for the 600RR? I think I'll be racing in PA next weekend and my right slider is bent to shit.

Thanks Peter, Hope those bruises are healing up!
