      No good tires come in that size. T1Rs did/do but that is all I have seen, and frankly they are mediocre tires.

      Edit: just checked and the R1R comes in that size. So one decent tire does.
      paint sucks

        sounds like what I have currently, I got excited when you said star specs but then got the sads

          Try some subframe risers. Camber doesn't help tire wear but toe really ruins it. Camber increases pretty linearly with suspension bump but toe goes up exponentially. If you can raise the subframe by a half inch it should cut your toe down considerably.

          I'd recommend an adjustable subframe but mine kept slipping. YMMV
          condor risers it is then

                    drove it a lot very aggressively.
                    I will take Nates advise and see how that works out. I need to re do my rear subframe anyways

                      I don't know what apex is, but I'll be at my shop on sunday.

                      they're going to be mounted on ruined rondells, hope that's ok. you should come by to pick out the 2 you want.

                        Dude, Sdrive are hard tires. and even hard driving shouldnt be that rough on them

                        get your frame media blasted, weld those on and then PC it.
                        i wouldnt raise the subframe unless you plan to go lower than HR race springs.
