Toe makes a *huge* difference in stability, and it exacerbates tire wear due to camber dramatically.

Oh, it definitely had a huge negative effect on stability on the track, especially on the ridiculously bad mismatched section comng into turn 12 (I think- can never keep corner numbers straight) at RFR at the TNL/SECCS track day.. But it was heaven for autocross and smoother tracks, like Thunder Hill. I had that alignment when you rode with me at the drift day, and also when you drove my car around for whatever reason I've forgotten. It's a big compromise in many ways, but I liked it. Anyway, I never got much uneven tire wear, which surprised me. There could very well be some mitigating factor I'm unaware of, like Dean's cone theory that prevented uneven wear.
