Tyre Wear Road v Trackday

I have a spare set of rims with CR500 I plan to use for tackdays, in the past I have had more wear on the inside of the front tyres during road use. So as they wear quite a bit more (camber is negative of course & some touring on motorways & so on) I have had them turned on the rim to equalise wear for road use.

When staring a track days should they be turned back so the deeper tread is on the outside, will the outer wear more on a track day due to the 'enthusiastic' cornering...?

I have a standard Duratech R300 (ie not race suspension) with 13'' rims - 6'' Fronts & 8'' Rears.

 

Thanks

I have a set of rims with ZZRs for TDs. 

 When I first put them on the camber was as set up for CR500s on the road. About -1.75deg. 

On the first TD, at that setting, the ZZRs showed significantly more wear on the outer edges. 

I adjusted the camber to -3 each side and now on TDs the ZZRs wear very evenly on a TD.  

On the road the inner edges clearly must take more wear but it’s not that noticeable yet. They do get slightly warm on the inner edges though and I haven’t done many miles  There’s also a little toe out which will contribute to that.

The car’s a little twitchy on the road too now, feels like tram lining but never pulls the car either way significantly, just very ready to turn!
