You may want to re-align a bit to use NT-01s. I run about -2 degrees for very even wear. Nittos don't need as much camber as RA-1s or other Rcomps. A small wheel spacer may also be in order.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried some 7 mm spacers already but that was no help.

Everyone's comments started me thinking on what could be different, and it finally hit me - I have adjustable caster with the lower control arms that I'm using, so I should be able to back off the huge amount of caster I'm running and directly improve the tire scrub.

Thanks all
