As fast as physically possible*, if I didn't want to do that I wouldn't have bought a sports car or good tires.

*Not on public roads of course

To much camber is a big issue.

You need to look at how your car is using the contact patch.

They little triangle wear indicators are there for a resson.
I was still getting noticeable outer edge wear at -4 degrees up front, the cars faster than me are in the -3.5 to -4.5 range, but I'm being silly, it's not the tires fault, it's the stupid driver/mechanic and I'll be changing my suspension setup soon to improve the situation.

And that is not the purpose of the triangles, those exist to indicate where the wear bars are.
