For the most part, camber won't kill your tires, toe will though.
And I already have about 13,000 miles on these tires and they'll probably last me for another 10,000.

5 days LOL
i been running neg camber on all sides for years and i dont struggle with fast tire wear unless i choose to.
incorrect toe angle will kill the tires in a matter of months but even in the most extreme cases, 5 days is not possible.

Already stated but uhh, no. excessive amounts of negative camber(the kind of camber wear the original poster is talking about), will wear the insides faster, but nowehre near as bad as quoted.

Say what?
Um, My car had -1.7 degrees of camber on both front wheels. I've done burnouts, launches, backroad adventures, track events, more backroad adventures. My toe is with-in specs of my car. I ran like that for about 6 months on Yokohama AVS ES 100s. They are still perfectly worn all the way across.

i had some noticeable negative camber on my car and then i put some new RUCA's on it that i lengthened a little.(only by my eye) i've been riding around without an alignment for a while now and my tires are still just fine.

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......
