Nope. At least not with street tires, with less pressure they roll over on the rim and you only use the outside edge of the tire, giving less grip. That equals understeer, which for most drivers is much safer. The Boxster from the factory came with little to no negative camber for this reason.

However, Porsche did build into the car the ability to change camber a bit. Not as much as some of us would like (those who track the car), but it's enough to make a sizeable difference.
