Oops! cords show

Surprised to find cords showing on left rear inboard tire today when I replaced my 265/30-19 PSS rears with 275/30-19 RE-11s I had sitting in garage (on M3). There was still 3/32 tread remaining and visable from behind, but lesson learned is get underneath your car to inspect properly. Now I'm on my way to BMW Corral weekend at Laguna Seca!

was it from rub on the inboard side, or from negative camber?

What do you think of the RE11? I was thinking about those buy got Dunlops instead.

Camber issue. I should rob the M3 Turner camber arms also since same part # for Z4.
I robbed RE-11s from my M3 before they rot sitting in garage since Z4 is so damn much more fun to drive. Noticeably quieter compared to wornout PSS.

I moved the rear from -1.9 to -1.6 and made toe closer to 0 and so far so good. wear seems even, car more neutral

Could be worth a shot before you change parts.
