Oh I forgot....also wanted to add that it is the compound that makes them (Nitto R2 extremes) stick so well on wet streets.
As far hydroplaning is concerned, every wide tire can be scary.
Toe in, toe out...sounds like I stumbled through a wormhole and landed in a line-dance forum
Again, thank you everyone for your input. A few of you mentioned that changing the camber could improve day-to-day drivability, but at the sacrifice of some grip. I'm down with that, since the car doesn't get driven hard. I'm also hoping that it'll let me keep the car shod with OEMs...I'd much rather keep it stock and only change tire brands as a last resort.
Blooty, the car was a birthday present for my wife, but she does give me the keys once in a while
One final question...would anyone happen to know what factory spec is for the alignment? I'd like something to compare to when I take it in.
I have driven various cars with autocross alignments for quite some time now. There might not be much of a real difference between brands as some people think. It does make a big difference how much tread is on the tires though. The closer the tires get to the wear bars, the more they will try to follow the ruts. Fresh tires are usually softer and full depth tread has more deflection in it.
