However, I read that in order for the tire to wear close to even, you need at least -2.5 camber, with most people running an average of -3.0 camber to keep pretty even wear.
While my use will be daily driving with the occasional spirited mountain runs, I wouldn't be doing any crazy tracking or anything so I'm wondering, will the camber achieved through factory bolts + camber bolts, maybe around -2.0(?) camber be okay enough? Our cars are lighter than others and the negative camber recommendations all come from threads in other forums about the Version 1 tire.


Also, how are Federal RSRs compared to these? Not a huge price difference, just looking at options.
This is the same tire/wheel setup as mine. I'll let you know how they wear for me. I'm at -3 front and -2.4 rear.

Granted, I do not drive in a straight line often, as my commute is semi-windy back roads and I will be tracking about 10 days this year.
