Because of the multi-link suspension setup in the rear camber and toe are somewhat intertwined. You definitely want to make sure toe is within spec as that will kill tires quicker than anything.
How often do you run through tires with that setup? Is your car just for track or you drive it daily also? Just wanna know how long my tires will last this way. Thanks!

I drive it daily except for the Winter, but my trip to work is very short. The RE-11's were my primary auto-x tires and saw some track duty as well (have track tires also). For me they last about 6000 miles but I beat the heck out of them at auto-x, wear is pretty even across the tread but only because of the aggressive driving. Driven a little more conservatively they will easily last twice that, potentially more.
