I agree with Tom. You need apx -3 deg front camber and could go to -2.5 in the rear for better tire wear and more grip in the turns. The larger 235s in front would help alot with understeer. Hate to spend your money, but a tire trailer should be on your list. Driving on the street in the wet on these tires is a real risk.

I am almost embarrassed to admit...



I have one I keep my backup set of track tires on it. Although in this picture I am realizing that I was driving on Hankook R-S3 on the way back from Road Atlanta, where I *did* change to/from the Nittos at this event.

Lately I have gotten lazy, and the RC-1 feel pretty good on the street, I have gotten to where I don't switch back to a more treaded tire for the drive to/from unless I know there is going to be rain forecast.
