Default Rear Camber Question for street use / and some raod racing

I just got my car back from alignment shop and the rear camber is set at -1.40 . I told him to set it negative to try to see if it'll eliminate the excess oversteer i've been experiencing. I decided to try it out like this. My question is .. does anyone else have a similar rear camber setting as this with stock suspension? I've noticed it does corner better, but still want to know if anyone has had problems with tire wear and such and if this camber setting would be ok for street and track. -1.40 is still within specs according to the mechanic there, but it is the max negative he would go. BTW, i have the rear camber kit for those wondering how i'm adjusting it so easily. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks people!

I never noticed any problem at 1.5 rear on the street. Not enough weight back there to matter, I suspect.
