Street tyre Vs Semi slick

Hi fozzie, your alignment will be fine except that for full on track driving on a semi, they like more camber. That said, if you check your tyres regularly and get them flipped on the rims - inside to outside - the tyres will wear fine. You will certainly get an increased level of grip, just that a more agressive alignment will give you a greater contact patch through corners thus wearing squarer and giving a slight grip advantage.

I doubt you'd get 5k km out of a set of R888's
heat cycles will be the biggest killer. So in a short period of time. Those tyres will be crap as well.
