Default Alignment

I'm getting my car aligned on Monday since I just install my new Hankook Ventus R-S2's on my stock 14 inch wheels of my 88 CRX Si with stock suspension. What is the best setting to have it put at? Naturally I want the alignment optimized for cornering, but I dont want a setting that will wear the tires excessively. Should I stick to the stock setting which is probably optimized to track straight easily or is there a better setting I can have done optimizing it for cornering without prematurely killing my tires? Thanks.

Stock setting is probably best. Especially on a 14" rim. You really wouldn't notice any better cornering from a slight camber change. Only in tire wear

Are you autocrossing or doing track events?

If you are have them set the front to to 1/8 total out and 0 in the rear. If you are not auto-x or doing track events, set it to stock specs.

I'm going to autocross in the spring but mostly street driving, how does your setting behave compared to stock?
