Default Track vs Street Alignment

Looking to get the car on the track this upcoming season. The majority of the miles will be on the street. Is there a set of specs that are a compromise between those settings that will do ok on the track and not cause too much crazy wear on the street?

I have 5000 miles on my car so far with several track days and dont have crazy wear. If you run front toe at 0, I dont seem to see excessive wear from the camber only. I run full track alignment all the time

+100, keep front toe at zero, and rear close to it (0.05 degrees toe in), and it should limit the tire wear, and might help with increasing your trap speeds, too, with lowered scrubbing.

I also drive at full track alignment all the time...
