Outer Tire Wear

Thanks for the input fellas. How do you know when there is too much wear though? There is no sidewall indicator (i don't think) Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Postions

When cords start to show. If you can, buy a front camber kit to increase the amount of negative camber and keep the wear on the outer tread to a minimum.

You need adjustable upper control arms. Got to spend money if you want to play. You're jumping down the rabbit hole now and there is no bottom.

I agree that you need to replace tires immediately once cording shows, but isn't that dangerous to rely on cording as an indicator? Is there still enough tire to safely even drive on it? And by "drive" I mean from the moment you see it to the shop to replace
