    What are the new wheel specs? You could probably get away with 195.50's depending how low you wanna go.

    Im buying tires tomorrow and wanted to.ask.whats a decent tread wear with a stretch? I was told t1r but the tread wear is too low. I need something well over 300.

    Btw im going 195 50 like the previous owner and some of your recommendations.

    The camber would ruin starspecs because of the tread wear. I am thinking of BFg g force sport. 340 tread wear, I can daily it comfortably and autocross for the first time in them. I was considering kumhos estas sat because of the tread life as well as falkens 512s

    512's suck. You don't want those. Lol
    Run zero toe and the camber wear won't kill them IMO. Just make sure you roll your fenders lol

    While they didn't grip well, the two sets I had lasted a long time even with a crappy alignment. If you aren't too concerned about serious grip AST's should last a while. Oh and they're cheap as hell

    Idk about the G-Force Sport... I had em on my old Sentra and they wore down rather quickly even with a proper alignment.
