Make sure you laugh at some of the ricers in the parking lot. I'll probably wait until it's out on DVD before I see it

You have a few options I guess...

1 - back down the camber just a bit.

2 - get a set of tires with a slightly harder compound. each tire has a treadwear rating, just get a set that's a little higher.

3 - both! then you would get the best bang for your buck. you might lose a little cornering, but if you're not driving it to the limits that often, you won't notice too much.

From what I understand you put on alot of miles, so you should look into doing at least one of those so you don't burn up another set.
