Dont worry too much about tyre wear.

Aslong as they dont go mad with the rear toe then you can get good tyre wear. I run -1.3 camber at the front and about -2 at the the rear. I have total toe in of 0.15 on the rear and the car is stable and isnt eating the tyres.
Upon recommendation from several other members (see this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/...8-geo-settings/ and https://www.s2ki.com/...ast-road-setup/) I would probably go for something like this:

Front camber 1[sup]0[/sup]
Front Toe 0[sup]0[/sup]
Caster 6[sup]0[/sup]
Rear camber 1.5[sup]0[/sup]
Rear toe 0.5[sup]0[/sup]

However I am open to suggestions
What MY is your car, as that makes a difference to how much rear toe you want. 30' each side is a lot of rear toe, or is that a total figure?

MY06. This is just what I have briefly read I would have said that this was the total.

That is a total figure and would be toe in. Unless people can recommend better from previous experience.

Looks about right in that case, you could got to 2[sup]o[/sup] rear camber if you like but it's all largely subjective anyway. Symmetry is the most important thing.
