Any suggestions for getting better wear or for using other tires?

I run NT-01s and get about 10 track days per set. Three things you can do to improve tire wear:
1. Lower the car to get 2 deg negative camber.
2. Stiffer rear sway so the car rotates more easily without plowing.
3. Careful alignment to get max neg camber and zero toe.
Bonus tire wear points if you drive smooth and avoid over-driving (sliding) the car.
