Since you've made yourself known now, why not take this thread from just purely bashing hellaflush and give us a bit of edumacation
Well from what i know , odd Camber isnt the cause of premature tire wear. if your Toe alignment is off, whether 0 degrees or -11 degrees of camber, the tires wear down prematurely do to "scrubbing" . My last car, 2006 STi, had about -8ish camber in the rear with the toe never corrected and mightve put on about 5k miles and still had plenty of life left on the tires . To answer your question , between the brz and my old sti, ive NEVER had to replace tires for ANY reason, BUT neither were daily driven.
