Inside front passenger wear is going to happen on that track. It is not unusual. All the hard corners turn right, which unweights your right side. As noted before, the 951 will understeer and the fronts will wear out quick. I used to go through 2 to 3 sets of fronts (Michelin Sport Cups) before wearing out the rears. That was with M030, bigger springs and Escort Cup sway bars on my 951 S. Just swap side to side to get the most wear.
Keep in mind that the M030 is going to start you on a very long list of “needs�? as you change each item. For example, the coilovers will allow more geometry changes. This may necessitate a change to racing control arms as stock are prone to failure if you change geometry. Another example is if you go to a bigger front bar, you will need to balance with a significant rear bar. Another question will be, what spring rates to choose. You may also need to consider 951 S front hubs for their durability. Add this all up before you take the leap into the “deep end�?.
As to your original question, as Todd pointed out, Toyos will probably give you the best WEAR-price-grip solution when your Yokes wear out. Although not the best for grip, they seem to last longer than most.
