Also turn down the steering response rate so the Mini is not twichy around neutral steering
I don't know about removing the toe out. The toe out is to make the car run straight. Most Minis have slop in the steering and suspension so that attempting to run zero zero will give you a car that's undriveable down the straight. Also the twitching in the steering comes from the inherent slop in the steering, so running negative exponential on the steering won't help much.

I may be misunderstanding here, but are you saying that you can run zero zero only with the Spice tires. If so, would you explain how that works? It would be an advantage to straight line speed if you could remove the toe out
