Max allowable negative camber before tire wear begins?

1 to 1 1/2 degrees of negative camber should'nt hurt tire wear and may even help your cornering.About 5 to 7 degrees of positive caster will help your streering response and about an 1/8" of toe-in will help you track straight at highway speeds.

This will allow for a slight drift to the right. This keeps the vehicle from wondering from side to side.
I've found that for majority of GM trucks and suv's that a "total" caster of -.07 to -1.1 will make them drive straight and eliminate the wondering side to side.
