Sorry, did not check this thread again after I posted.

I do a bit of straight line driving and the difference in wear is more dependant on the tire imho. The euro alignment is still not "extreme" in the case of camber or toe. I run it and haven't noticed super uneven wear.

if you do A LOT of highway miles, i'd suggest not putting -2 deg of camber in the rear. try -.5 to -1.5, 1/16" total toe in
