The effects(or lack thereof)of not having camber kits

I switched back to the stock wheels and tires for winter this weekend, and got a real good look at the tires when they came off the car. The tires are all worn pretty much dead nuts even across the tread. The car is lowered on Eibachs with no camber kits. My specs are posted in my review of the springs in the Reviews section, tires are BFG Comp2s 245x45-18fr, and 275x40-18rr. Just for the record I do not baby my car, it's driven the way a performance car should be driven. I'm pretty impressed with the treadwear on the rears especially, considering how many times they've been lit up.

With your camber well under -2 and your toe in spec that looks to be about expected. How are you liking those BFGs overall? Seem to be getting pretty solid reviews from all I've read.

Overall I'm pretty happy with them. The only shortcoming I've found with them so far is off the line grip, they spin pretty easily. Road holding, wet traction, and ride comfort are all excellent in my opinion. I put somewhere around 6,000 miles on them while they were on the car this year. The treadwear exceeded my expectations, I would say it's negligible at best.
