to add to this anomaly the PSs's have a 300 treadwear/ AA traction/ A temp and the RE-11s are 200 treadwear/ A traction/ A temp. still feels like the RE-11s are a much better tire and that is something i never thought i'd say after having PSS's lol
I am no professional, so I just always get an alignment with any tire/wheel changes, and every 6 months, thats just me. I did have to bump camber up when going from 305/30 to 305/35 but not too much. I did not rub, just felt like I could get away with more clearance on a taller, softer sidewall on the drag radials.

This setup is purely custom and designed to run at or below 1 degree at this height, without any lip work, in theory. We thought long and hard about 345, but i wanted to go for 325 first and go from there. But Rusty has made me regret that, haha! I bet if I let some air out, I can bring that outside edge down some!
