I think Hoosiers run /wear best with lots of neg. camber. I am running 225/255 17 with no wear issues street or track. I find myself running faster times in cars and Karts with just a touch of threshold understeer on full throttle track out. It reminds me to drive the smoothest line.
I think I may stick with the 245/275 setup since the only problem I really have is the carousels (skid pad). I have spun my car numerous times and appreciate the grip and speed that I get going through slaloms and other higher speed corners that understeer is virtually non-existant. I am installing the lower stress bars on the rear and hope this will take a little of the understeer out.
