YMMV
My point was that even as a starting point, these numbers don't take into account that most R-compound tires like tons of neg. camber. i.e. DMS should indicate these numbers are start for street tires, or people following these numbers (like me) are going to tear up a set of $1000 tires in a weekend.

Start at the -3 to -4 deg that Toyo recommends when running RA1s for example. I had a good 50% tread left on the inside edge of my RA1s when the outside shoulders corded. And I didn't even realize how close to cording they were because I'd never used them before and didn't know how beefy the shoulders aren't.
