Default best alignment

When i did a search I only found 1 thread that I looked in that said what a good alignment is that wont wear tires any faster than stock, and wont make them wear uneven. This is what it said:
-1.5 camber
+4.5 caster
and 0 toe
is that right?

No faster than stock wear would require a stock alignment. You can increase performance with the alignment specs you listed, but you may see increased tire wear. I run what is basically those specs and got 30,000 miles out of my front tires. They were not worn to the tread bars, but they had worn more on the inside than the outside edge. I consider 30k to be pretty good tire life, but I don't know how far it would have gone on a stock alignment. And, at 30k, they had some tread left, but the rears were pretty wasted so I changed them all.
