Default tires most resistant to camber wear?

i have a 91 integra that is dropped 4 inches, i was palnning on getting a camber kit soon but ran low on money, i went through my passenger front tire in around 600 miles and the wire is already showing

i plan to raise the car up a little until i get a camber kit, but what type of tire should wear the least while im getting money

let me know what you think

thanks

the hardest thing you can possibly find so an all-season or something along those lines (check treadwear ratings). 600 miles on a tire? that is f'ing ridiculous.

If your tires are wearing out after 600 miles, your money would be better spent on getting your alignment straightened out than on more tires that are just going to keep wearing quickly...

Def get your alignment issues straightened out and the worry about getting some rubbers that you actually like because as Mike C said the harder the rubber the less it will wear like that but then you sacrafice performance.

Get your car aligned, have them set your toe at 0, Then worry about getting a new set of tires.

Agreed, I've gone over 10k miles on a set of tires, with 4 3/4 negative rear camber on my Spitfire without any signs of "camber wear". In fact, the tires still have 3/4 of their life left in them. It did take me alot of searching to find a place with an alignment rack that can handle the short wheelbase to set the rear toe correctly though... 0 toe and long tire life go hand in hand.
