My experience with the 215/50-13s was very good. I'd be very tempted to
hoard some if it was me!

OTOH, I had very good experience with Hoosiers in '99, but don't have any
back to back data between them and R-1's. The camber issue is much more of a
problem on strut type cars. The Stock Miatae get 1.3-1.4 degees in front,
and work well, so your additional camber should work fine given your
suspension design.
I have no experience with the TDs, but other than having a slower response
time (you have to "lead them" a little...) I'd think they would work.
