Typically "Toe in" burns up tires far faster than negative camber. Try a Zero Toe setup front and rear and see if you get more miles while retaining good aggressive negative camber. Also some guys who street their R comps will flip their tires on the rim every 2000 miles or so to extend their life. I think the Michelin Cup has a dedicated outside shoulder so you can't flip those. With Nittos and Toyos you can flip them for longer life.

I run autocrosses (no DE's) so keep this in mind. I started running 225/255 Victoracers and found that the front still pushed a lot. I have since switched to 245/275 V710's and absolutely love them! Most of the front push is gone (what is left is me diving too deep into a corner and not the tires fault) and holy cow is there grip!!!

BTW-I run 17's for my r-compounds to save weight (and $$$). They aren't nearly as good looking as my 18's but that isn't the purpose of track tires/wheels.

BTW2-I have a 02' S with the only mod being lower stress bars, intake, and exhaust.
