Camber. How much
 
How much camber do I need or want?

Nobody has ever accused me of babying tires. The fronts alway go first.

.6 inches lower and 2 degrees of camber to save the edge of the front tires. It is not helping enough. I have 5500 miles on them. The center of my tires are practically new. Just having taken a snap of them they are not new but in far better shape. I am amused that those tire whiskers are still intact.

Almost every mile I put on my car is winding road. I have used 6th gear so few times I can practically count them. Going to the dealership and track primarily.

Yow. Are you sure you're at -2 degrees? That's impressive. :P

I wish for -3 to -3.5 on track but it eats up the inside of my street tires so I have been running -2.5 all around (still eats their insides).

Have you checked your toe? You might have a lot of toe in which can cause this.

Street driving and track driving are really two different worlds with set up... Espc camber.
I would think you would want to be around -1 or less for everyday driving and tire life and wear.. For the track ... That is so dependent on your overall needs and setup.
Tire brand ... Spring rate... Sway bar settings ... Ride height.
