I have a set of Hoosier R7s (205/60-13) on 7" steel wheels that I used for
track days, these required serious negative camber, about -3 degrees. They
stick really well on the track. They also sucked big time on the street
since they rarely get hot enough plus they are basically racing slicks.
I considered the RA1 pathway but I do a lot of sport driving in SE Ohio, PA
and WVa and we do not stop if it's cold and/or raining. I've seen both
another Tiger and a TR8, both running RA1s, slide off into the mud on cool
damp mornings while my Ziexs stuck. The traction requirements are different
in the rural twisties than it is on the track.
