I'm on my third set of tires. Ist set were P-Zeros, second set were R-compund DOT's, and I am back on the P-Zeros. Wore out the outside grooves of the left hand tires on the first two sets, in fact corded the R-compounds. Now beginning to show more outside tread wear on the left hand tires again. All the tracks I go to are clockwise. Had the alignment checked after I corded the R-compounds, and they were at the correct factory specs for C4S.
I am not too comfortable switching left to right on radial tires. Looks like I have to do something other than factory specs. Anyone with suggestions on a good compromise setting for street and track?

You need more negative camber. It's as simple as that. Factory settings will always give you more outside tread wear. R-compound tires require even more negative camber.

Thanks, Viken. Care to give me a setting to shoot for?
I also notice a more pronounced outer wear on the rear. Does increasing the negative camber more in the rear relative to the front result in a worsening of the oversteer?

As to the rear, I think you should get it checked out. Stock camber should be - 1º 25' ± 15' which should be somewhat adequate for your purposes. If not, I would go the far end of that range and do -1º 45' and see how that works.
These are aggressive street settings and at the limit of inner tread wear if you drove mostly highways.
