We run the same alignment for slicks and the two street tires I listed and the tires wear just fine. I ran the RE71s down till no tread was left. Did they drop off in grip? Sure, but I enjoyed the cost savings, and they were still fine for DE and drive improvement laps. The 295 street tires are shorter so you will have a lower rake in the rear but if you are already going to street tires, that change is minor compared to the tire type change. The tires below ran the same alignment as the CS shipped with for slicks.

That's a pretty good wear pattern on those RE71s. What alignment settings are you using?

Ran hoosiers on my 981CS a few test days - no issues whatsoever (other than being slow...)
