Directional Tires vs. Asymmetrical Tires

Directional Tires vs. Asymmetrical Tires
I have 20" Staggered Wheels, of course with negative camber. So I like prolonging tire wear since I drive my Lexus alot.
My first set of tires were Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s, which were directional, not asymmetrical...which means I could move the tires from one side of the car to the other WITHOUT changing their direction. This means the inside tread became the outside tread...and I got a ton of miles out of tires doing this every 10,000 miles or so.
But now I have asymmetrical, non-directional tires...which means now when I move them from side-to-side, I have to change their direction, thereby keeping the inner tread on the inside even when I move them from one side to another (the only thing that changes is that the tire is now going in the opposite direction). This doesn't do much though to prevent tire wear since the inside is still being worn out.
Soooooooooo, are there any decent tires out there for 20" rims that are NOT asymmetrical and directional. The list seems small, and quite expensive...especially when you get into odd sizes (like 255/30/20).
I feel like I'm stuck with the asymmetrical tires which is going to mean rapid tire wear since I have negative camber.
Hmmmm...
