Default Camber vs tire wear

After driving around all winter with 205 70 15's I just switched back to my summer tires. 235 45 17's.

The wide tires make the camber obvious. Hardly noticeable with the skinny tires.

How much camber is too much for true daily driving?
I know neg camber is great for cornering but I think I have too much and it's wearing the inside edge of my front tires.

It's a 93 coupe with Eibach Sportlines. All polyurethane.

My wifes 93' 300ZX has 4 degree's of negative camber and 300 ware tires last about 20-25,000 miles and it handles like its on rails. 4 degree's is the factory setting, so if 4 degree's is good for it then it must be good the the stang!

I think too much toe-in would also cause the inner tread to wear faster too(?) Check that

Just go to an alignment shop and have everything fixed. You could also be suffering from worn parts...

Thanks for the responses. I started another thread that's better worded as to what I'm asking.

4 deg is killer Neo. I can imagine how that handles. Stadium dirt racing trucks like the big positive angle too.
