My front has negative camber. More than most daily drivers, but less than a track car. The rear has even more negative camber, of course. My rear tires wear more on the inside than the outside, but the front does not have nearly as much uneven wear as the back.

I would disagree with the notion that front wheels of a daily driver should be toed out. Sure, it makes the car darty giving the illusion of responsiveness, but I do not believe cornering is actually enhanced. I believe the net effect is simply the dartiness. Dartiness is not a happy characteristic of a daily driver and as I say, I think it's unnecessary from a performance perspective. My suggestion would be to toe the front wheels slightly in, as they are supposed to be. Then, as many of you know, road forces will bring those slightly toed-in wheels into parallel while the car is moving. With this condition, your negatvie camber (which is important from a performance perspective) will not do as much to accelerate tire wear on the inside. A little, but not much.
