    think about what you typed, if your camber settings are at zero, how can you have the mythical camber wear?

    its not camber wear thats why, its your toe settings

    Camber doesn't wear tires. Quit listening to morons. I ran 3.6/3.8* camber in high school, 20,000 miles of even tire wear. I run 1.8/1.6 now and no problems whatsoever.

    Camber at factory isn't even 0*, zeroing camber is something drag racers do to promote straight line traction.

    Put on your factory upper arms and get an alignment shop to set your toe to .03-.05 toe out in the front, and .05 toe in in the rear. Your tires will wear evenly and handle better thanks to these settings. Toe 0 is alright too, but it won't be stable on the highway and the steering may be heavy. I run these settings and it's great for autocross and it was much better than the factory toe settings. I've put 12,000 miles on my summer tires and I haven't seen any unusual wear. Tires look brand new.
