One tire that I saw the most excessive inside wear was the front right. Car was recently lowered.

The whole right front is out of whack. The caster and camber are significantly different than the left side which usually means there is a bent component somewhere. Although the differences are small enough that you really shouldn't notice much when driving.
The only time the right front camber could be a problem is if the toe gets out of spec. Too much camber with a bad toe setting will eat a tire in nothing flat.

I wouldn't. As long as it doesn't pull you shouldn't have any problems. I see cars with that kind of camber all the time without tire wear issues.

It really shouldn't cause you any problems as long as the toe is in. Toe has a much greater affect on tire wear than camber.

When you get into lower profile tires on a daily driver camber can cause some uneven wear but even then not much. It takes quite a bit of camber to cause uneven wear. Or like I said. Camber and Toe out of spec at the same time will shred tires quickly.

Wicked high negative camber ftw</TD></TR></TABLE>
Tires that last FTW.
o.k, so I guess I'll ride this out and see how the wear goes.
