DOT R Compound tires like about 3.25 to 3.75 depending on springs, sways and bushing setups. On my E36 M3 I ran around 3.6 and it was dialed in perfect. As I mentioned before a DOT R is a BFG R1, a Hoosier R7, etc.

Slicks are for seriously dialed in track cars only and yes, they do like even more camber to go with the 1000lb + spring rates.

Goodyear, Yoko, Dunlop and others make various slick compounds...
