Camber does wear the inside shoulder faster than the outside while driving on the street. Toe will destroy a tire quickly, but the only time a tire is going to wear totally even with -3 degrees of camber is if the tire is used exclusively on track or autocross because only then is the whole patch of the tire is flat with the ground.

My BRZ and my MR2 turbo have -3 camber front and -2 rear and zero toe in the front. The BRZ requires a tire rotation every few thousand miles to even out wear and possibly a tire flip. Since I can't rotate on my MR2, I flip the tires a few times during their life to maximize their life. The only car that wears evenly on the front with -4 camber is my 944 Spec race car.
