I do have zero toe. I have a tiny bit of camber.

Might look at getting v12's again. I do love them.

Back when I used to have them I had multiple autocrosses on them that's probably a good indicator as to why they didn't last long.

My sumitomo HTR z3's are cheaper and better dry performance tires than v12's.

Longest lasting tires I have ever run were the BFGoodrich KDW2's

They are currently on closeout through Tire Rack and come with a $50 rebate:

I don't want crappy tires, just tires that will not have to be replaced after 10,000 miles lol. The point is I track the car, and have another set of tires/wheels for those times, so it's not critical to have super grippy tires on the street for me.

I will ultimately end up with ultimate high performance all seasons or some sort of summer tire with a treadwear rating of around 300 or better.
