Can anyone recommend a good mid range tire for summer use? Do our cars require a "four wheel" alignment? That is does the rear end need to be brought into spec?

My understanding is that in our stock form, only the front wheel toe can be adjusted. The rear cannot be adjusted.

But you could do what I did and add camber adjusters front and back and get it aligned as you wish.

I use Bridgestone Potenza RE760 sports and like them. But I am running a 16" rim.

That's correct, only toe is adjustable on a stock car.

Tire recommendations will depend on which wheels you are running. Most tires available for 14" wheels are suitable for '90s Corollas.

Im running into issues with my alignment right now. Running 16's and can never seem to get it just right

I believe the number is 1/16" toe in,...to start the silliness in a 30 year old sedan, designed for 65 m.p.h. on the highway and 25 in the neighborhood.

Struts up front. Designed for, the above handling requirements. With a race car everything pretty much begins with a rigid, no flex frame center. This to allow the adjusting of all the suspension components as free from the mysterious twisting factors of frame flexing as possible.

Struts, frame components attached with (old) rubber bushings, tie rods, center link, pitman arm bushing age. A unibody. Knock ourselves out.

Eibach lowering springs with sport shocks tickle my fancy for the Walter Mitty racer look, knowing there's a tire cost to pay. Without moving the lower suspension pivot points the increased (negative) camber eats the inside tread.

Weld all body seams, add a roll cage for frame stiffness. Coil overs, strut braces, bigger stabilizer bars, new rubber or urethane, camber plates,...

Maybe I'll just swap the tires side to side eventually, take the 528 to the store and buy a Vintage Formula Ford if I want to race.
