No, I don't. I understand the difference between a street and track alignment.

Aggressive alignments are not only about handling and preference, but also about even tire temps and wear.

I was saying one is not good for the other. You're unlikely to enjoy driving a car on the street with a lot of camber and toe out on the front. It's going to tramline and wander like crazy on the street, but turn-in the way you want on track.

Using a street oriented alignment (less camber and likely toe-in) on the track is going to destroy the outer edges of the front tires while the insides have tons of life.
