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.

Thanks for the response. I was aware that toe has more effect than camber, but I can't help but think that the tires are loaded on a smaller patch and on a part that isnt really meant to take the full load of the car, hence the question.
