Just bought new tires, need an alignment
Sup people, I just bought some tires, BF Goodrich G Force, 215/55/16, 255/50/16 on AP1 stockers, ( I know, I know, they are a little tall). I want to get the most miles out of my tires, so should I go for 0 camber and 0 toe? any good place with good pricing on the SW side of town? thanks!

255-50-16 on a stock rear wheel? Its only 7.5 wide man.Enjoy your sidewall flex.If i remember correctly stock is 205 and 225 rears.
That's what was on mine when I got them. I'm getting 225/50/16 for the front so they look at least even.

Just got the alignment done a few hours ago. I had taken my dad's discovery there a few years ago, I had forgotten about that place. Greg did the alignment himself, I sat in the car for a more precise alignment, I told him I didnt want any camber or toe in and that I wanted to get the most out of my tires, but by looking at the car it seems like theres a bit of camber on the rears, specially on the right rear... maybe cause the tires are kinda tall... anyways, he told me that the alignment the car had was pretty messed up and that I would enjoy the car more now. I told him that I had heard good things from other s2000 owners about his shop and at the end he charged me $60. What yall think?

60 is a good deal. I remember the alignments used to be 50 bucks there prior. 
The camber won't wear your tires as fast as the toe being out of spec. I had my toe at zero with negative 5 camber. After a good bit of miles, my tread was still 8/32 when measured at discount tire. Oh, they did the alignment as well.
