My car has aroun 2 degrees negative camber on the back. This is the least amount of camber they can adjust the wheels to cause my car has been lowered a bit. To compensate for inner tyre wear the guys that did my wheel alignment for me said they put extra toe in/out so that the tyres would wear out evenly.
What you guys think of this...
Shouldn't they just keep the wheels straight... and then when the inner side of the tyres start look like they are getting bad I just rotate the tyres (swap the tyres/rims)

Re: Wheel Alignment settings... what you think?

What they are suggesting is a bandaid solution to your rooted suspension geometry.
What you're suggesting is an even more bandaid solution, especially if you've got assymetrical tyres.
I guess there's two options:
1> Short term cost, long term gain: Get a rear camber fix to correct your alignment. Reap the long term rewards.
2> Long term cost, no gain at all: Replace the rear tyres every x/2 kilometers (where x represents typical tyre wear rate).
