True but with all my Civics I ran -2.5 to -3.2 camber front and -2.0 rear WITH 0 toe front and rear and my tires wore fine. Actually my one set of Azenis lasted over 40 autocrosses and 10,000 miles when I sold then with 3mm of tread left. When I sent the set back to Falken for their inspection they couldn't believe it.

Now I did rotate the tires every other event, always putting the tire with more tread on the front.
