For those that are wondering, YES camber and toe will affect tire wear. Caster will not.
This man speaks the truth!

yeah, he has that huge contact patch, but doesn't let it contact, it lowers the surface area of contacting area, putting more pressure per square inch on the surface area of the rubber thereby increasing the forces of lateral friction under movement, thereby rapidly decreasing the tread life. also, the performance probably goes DOWN with such little rubber actually hitting the road. Toe in adds gripp because the outside wheel in a turn will stretch outward and the outer sidewall side will lift off of the ground, a toe in, however has the tire leaning inward, so that when the rubber makes its way to the outside, it's actually fully flat on the ground, rather than "peeling up" on the corners. Caber only adds the negative opposite effect of toe in.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
To an extent yes
but its not going to wear out your tires in a month
Im going on 4,000 KM now, with no abnormal wear so far. on -18* of camer at ride height.
