Now i did 0.04 for both front tires to be not so aggressive...
Let me know how yours are wearing out...

I can't get 24k out of a set of tires, maybe 12k. The car has 13k now, and I ran the stock tires down to 5-6/32" before fitting the 255s. The insides were worn more than the rest, which is why I've reduced toe with my new (~1k) MPSSes. I understand that
zero static toe yields toe-out when the car's rolling, so I keep a tiny bit of toe-in.
The more I look at my car today, the more I think that using the stock tension struts with the F8x LCAs twisted the suspension geometry enough to have lowered the car. I know it's not intuitive, but I swear my ride height has increased with the F8x tension struts.
The initial mis-information we got about the length of the tension struts is really a shame. Thanks again,
