Re: what is camber wear ?
Camber will increase tire wear. Not a great deal though.
-1.0 to -2.0 is still pretty mild camber when looking at tire life. I run -1.7 on my rear and -1.5 on the front. This is my daily driver settings. (where it stays through the winter) Most tire wear comes from under or over inflated tires and impropper toe settings.
Camber wear will look like one side of the tire has been run 10k miles more than the other side or center of the tire.
Toe wear will look like a saw tooth pattern wear on one side.
Caster will just affect steering effort and pulling, no real affect on tires. Also for you FWDs torque steer.

Re: what is camber wear ?
camber wear is horrible.... Ive been fighting it for about three months now and im going broke buying tires. So i finally broke down and bought a camber kit and put it on but now a lower control arm bushing broke and i cant get in aligned so now I got to put a bushing in and get it aligned...... IT IS A NEVERENDING FIGHT.....NEVER LOWER YOU CAR......
