to make up for previously posted pics of chunked tires and fuxxored rotors, here's the good side of tracking a 4000lb Audi... much joy to be had!

and just so the other beast doesn't get jealous, I gave it an equally sound smackdown as well...

Default I think I see the reason for the chunking problem...

Needs more camber in the front. I see a lot of rolling on the front sidewall.

Default I agree, definitely needs more camber...

actually, the M5 needs more camber badly also as it too is really hard on tires up front due to the weight. Unfortunately, that usually doesn't work out well for even tire wear under normal driving conditions. Imagine if car manufacturers would engineer and put into production electronically adjustable camber on the fly via iDrive or MMI much like the M5 has adjustable dampers etc. But surely such an implementation would add even more weight than it's worth to what are already fat piggies. Perhaps a better idea would be owner adjustable camber using simple tools accesible from under the hood without having to remove the wheels or jacking up the car.
