When cornering hard during AutoX and track days, the geometry changes such that the outer shoulder bears the cornering and traction loads. With the minimal front camber in the stock setup, the outer shoulder ends up wearing much more quickly during aggressive driving.

Once I get some camber arms and dial in more negative camber, I expect the tires to wear more evenly on the track and the inside shoulder to wear more quickly during daily driving. With my combo of track and daily driving, more negative camber should get me more even tire wear rather than wearing out the outside tread blocks.
