I run 235-40-17 Toyo RA1's on 17x8 ET 40 rims (-3 camber) with NO issues ...

Street tires and lapping ... You may trash then in one day particularily if you do not have enough front camber and they are full tread depth (build to much heat) ... trust me ... R-comps are cheaper in the long run

Okay so I will try the DTC-60 on the front and what about the hawk black for the rear? The blacks start at 100 degree. I do not see the DTC30 on the tirerack site. Did not think about the rears not getting hot enough compared to the front.Where do you get your pads from?

Just ordered my stuff to do the camber. So I was right on the tire size and wheels. What do you run in the rear for camber? -1.5? Do you keep these settings for the street of do you get a new alignment after track days?
So you like the toyo's, who do you get them thru? Do you shave and heat cycle them? Are you doing mostly autocross or open track. Because I will be doing only open track events so not sure if that would still be your choice of tire. Keep the good info coming, do you ever do any events down south?
