Default Camber settings for stock ride height.

Hello,

I have what I am 99% sure is a camber problem. In ~3500 miles I wore the outer edge of the front tires from ~70% to ~10% . Got some new tires and got an alignment But they say that there was "nothing wrong".

Left Front:
Caster: +5.36
Camber: +.32
Toe: 0

Right Front:
Caster:+6.36
Camber: +.68
toe: 0

Based upon some other posts people said that that they have zero tire wear issues with:
Caster: +5 +5
Camber: -.7 -.7
toe: 0 0

Do you guys think that this should solve my camber problem?

negative camber helps with cornering. if you have a problem with wear on the outside of your tire and you engage in "spirited driving" I'm sure that having positive camber is a contributing factor to your problem.

What tire pressure do you run? Do you take turns fast?

Been running 32psi... Taking turns at normal speed.. to be honest for the most part I baby the car. Any sort of agressive driving is mainly done in a straight line.
