so we agree a custom alignment would optimize the use of R tires and we agree R tires are faster on the track.
Geez that is not what I found with mine.According to the tire temps that we took on my car with the R888's we were thinking that we needed somewhere around 3-3.5 - negative camber to make the tires work like they should.Toyo & Hoosier and if I remember correctly want to to see 3-5 -camber for the tire to work properly like it is designed.I know that on our old Firehawk car we ran about 3-3.5 -negative front & rear on a very stiff setup(500lbfr/850 lb/in rear) with big bars and tires had very good temps.You must not be pushing that hard if you dont think you need more camber.
