so to be continued i guess

You can’t set toe to compensate for camber. I get what he may have been trying to do but it just doesn’t work that way. Toe in will wear the outside edges of the tire faster as your essentially dragging the tire across the pavement rather than rolling. So in his theory your neg camber with pos toe would cancel each other out but it just doesn’t work like that because as stated earlier your camber is just making the inside of the tire contact and now with your toe your dragging the tire across the pavement on that very little contact area.
Get the toe set right and that’s the best you can do. Your still gonna have excessive inside wear from camber but it shouldn’t t be as fast.
