I am going to need tires in a few months and if the stars align I may be able to pick up a set of wheels at the same time. I know I want to do a square setup to be able to rotate and for autox. Assuming that I am willing to fork out the extra initial for the wheel studs, spacers, caster/camber plates, allignment, and install; is a 305 squared setup a good daily set up? Or is it stupid and I should stick with a square 285 setup?
Since the allignment is on the more extreme end am I going to sacrifice a lot of tire wear because of it? Hoping I can get away with -2.5° of camber up front to make the tires fit. Also I do still plan on sticking with a max performance tire, the Conti Extremecontact Sport.
I definitely can not afford a dedicated track set so I need to have a good balance. I put about 9k miles a year on my car, and run about a dozen or so autox and drag events; (auto x matters more to me than drag racing). Trying to get a tire that lasts at least two years so the ECS seems to be a good candidate over say an rs4.
Given all of this should I go for a set of 19 x 11' and run 305's? Or should I go with the easier option and run 19 x 10's and stick with 285's? Are the 305's worth all of the extra effort and extra cost?
