I was running 225/255 RS3's on Big Willow 36psi hot all the way around and it felt good. -2.75 camber all the way around.

After running big willow yesterday, it looks like I might need a bit more camber on the Z1SS as well, but it was nowhere near as bad as when I was at WSIR last summer on the RS-3.

I'll update the OP later

cool thanks guys... Yea I currently have 2.8 front and 2.2 rear, but I have a camber kit up front, so my front adjustment can go as far as -4.5 and as high as like -3.2 in the rear. I'll try some more all around next time.

I got an alignment before WSIR this weekend and I ended up at -3 front, -3.2 rear. The tire wear looks MUCH better than before. No sidewall wear, and tread blocks wore evenly. I may go to -3.2 front and rear for now on.

Edit: I am stock camber bolts with no other suspension modifications other than KWV3's.

Firstly, thanks to the OP for continually updating this thread

Secondly, anyone have more input on rain performance? I'm making the final decision on tires right now for the autocross S2000. I don't think I'm going to go for dedicated rain tires until the 2012 season. So ideally, if there's a tire that's able to win in the dry, while not being completely out of it in the rain, that'd be ideal. Any input?

The specs are actually pretty good in the rain. I have a set of new 255 kooks sitting in my garage waiting to go on, so I can't compare directly, but I was happy with how the dunlops performed in the wet

My Dunlops were a little faster in the wet than my Kooks. But only by a little. The only time I notice a definate difference is when there are deep puddles.
(jon- I had Dunlops on the day you co-drove my car)
