hard cornering upgrades?

Hello,

Sue me, but I like to take offramps/onramps and other gradual turns probably faster than I should. This leads to premature tire wear. I am showing cords on the edges of my tires that I just bought last year!:punchballs:

I have a new steering rack, new tie rods, ball joints, struts, and springs and had it aligned afterwards. Then bought the new tires. (205 70 14). This is on the 5.0 1983 cougar, by the way.

I know the simple solution would be to slow down, but what fun is that?

Do they make a tire thats stronger on the edges? Is there any suspension mods I can do? I dunno. I'm bored and I figured I see what you guys have to say.

I bet when I get this Turbo 85 done, it will be easier on tires since it's lighter.
