camber adjustment
 
How much would 1°-1.5° of camber affect the life of the tire. Would there be obvious tire wear on the side walls? Thx for your input :-)

depending on the width, air pressure and toe will have different results.

i've had -3 to -5 camber on my previous daily driven bB on 15x8 195/50 32psi and the -3 lasted for 8-11 months. -5 for 5months. proper toe correction will minimize wear.

Hsvent changed toe and probably won't cause I know changing toe can really mess with tire wear unevenly so that'll stay stock. I'm running about 35 psi in tires and my wheel size is, 18x8.75

It also depends on the compound of the tire as well

when you change camber your toe will change

so if you're doing this yourself don't assume that you can just crank your camber bolts/plates and stroll along.

Toe will affect wear much more than camber.
