I previously calculated its CG height as 18.2”, based on its Google-derived Static Stability Factor of 1.71 (incredibly high) and its track width of 62.2.Anybody has a good source for what's model 3's center of gravity height? I get some random internet links for estimates of 18.5", but those are largely coming from some earlier Model S claims.
Was quite normal on the old RE71RSo, two events ago i swapped from 265/35-19 RT660 to 275/35-19 RE71RS, on my SS legal 19x9's.
The RT660 had wore a funky groove in the outside half of the tire. The RE71RS developed this same groove, but much more quickly...

Conversely, a friend has the sister to my car, essentially the identical m3p on 19x9, but he has the 255/35-19 RE71rs. His tires did the same thing after two events...

Is the only fix more negative camber?
After the NJ pro solo, I plan on testing both 255 and 275 back to back on the same car on the same day. Grom the outside, it seems that the 255 has better steering feel and the 275 has slightly more mechanical grip, but feels more vague with the additional pinch on the 9" wheel.
Does this emulate what everyone else is seeing?
There's data out there that - 10 disables the E-LSD from people playing around in the snow. Because of this I run - 9 and I never feel it intervene, even in the wet.I was down to -8 and probably should have gone to -10
Interesting. I usually run -10 and don't get much oversteer. This last autox I put it in - 8 and got way more OS than than experienced before. I figured it was from running PS4S in mid 90* temps. Now I guess I know the real reason.There's data out there that - 10 disables the E-LSD from people playing around in the snow.

I sometimes get a fair amount of oversteer with my PS4S's too- What always calms this down for me is running 1PSI less in the rear than front.
Tire pressure? I'm thinking you are running 35+?So, two events ago i swapped from 265/35-19 RT660 to 275/35-19 RE71RS, on my SS legal 19x9's.

Are those 275-wide ones?It was hot AF yesterday, we were spraying the 660’s between runs and keeping them at 36F/34R.
265/35/19Are those 275-wide ones?
I generally run much lower pressures on 305-wide ones.
Indeed, on my 275s I saw about a 3% reduction in my AutoX times between 36 PSI and 30 PSI!Are those 275-wide ones?
I generally run much lower pressures on 305-wide ones.
