You can get enough camber out of the stock setup to help that but not eliminate it. Mr. M is correct regarding the LCA's. You can go aftermarket too. If you are going to track a lot it would be worth looking at LCA's. I left mine stock with max camber and a few other adjustments and found the wear to be acceptable. I run Cup2's year round and get decent mileage out of them as well. My T was a temporary track car so that's why I left it stock but just maxed out the camber. Dont forget the DSC controller if you have not gotten one yet....

I think the answer I've seen is GT3 lower control arms.
Yup, need new lower adjustable control arms to get camber into the -3 range. Can check out this thread for inspiration. Emotion, RSS, Tarett are options.

On a stock-ish 911, you need to trail brake to reduce understeer/plowing. Won't help with tire wear though!

Changing your driving technique.

Rotate the car.
Enter the corner with a more appropriates speed such that you are plowing less.
More negative camber.

Just got done aligning my t after lowering. I will track it. I went with -1.8 and -2.5. 1.8 is the max I could get from the front

Perfect weather today locally so I took the opportunity to take the T for a nice spirited drive before the backroads got busy. At no time did I feel like I wanted more from ANY aspect of the car. Maybe I've just drank the T Kool-aid but I really do feel like Porsche nailed it with this car.

I just picked up my T from its 4 year service. I just crossed 37,000 miles and still love this car as much as the day I picked it up! I did add Soul Performance headers and high flow cats. I also had the sound symposer removed while they were in there. Normal stuff too, plugs, coils (probably not necessary but I had APR coils installed) all filters, and an alignment check.
She feels brand new again! Lol! I do love the improved exhaust sound. I shot a quick video so you can hear them. I'm very impressed with the quality and sound!! @Soul Performance !!!
Now it's time to add another 4 year's and 40,000 miles!!!!!

Good to hear! Am just about to hit 47k miles, but I got mine in April 2018. I think you might be catching me up though!

P.S. Might be just me, but can’t see a video?

That was weird. Please check again. I did the original post on my phone so maybe that's why. I can see it now and did not before either.

Detailed after track work. What a PITA although, boy is she clean and sparkly. Also added new Magnafin printed black stone guards custom sized for the T to miss Carrera T graphics. Cheers!

Girodisc 350mm upgrade for front and rear this week. Much welcomed for better heat dissipation on track
