+1, your toe is most likely the culprit. The improper toe will eat tires very quickly. I've run -1.5 camber on the front of my last few cars with no ill effects. If the camber is 1 deg off, then at some point you smacked a curb. Your toe is out for 2 reasons.

1. You probably knocked it out when you knocked the camber out.
2. Toe dynamicly changes as camber changes.

If you drive like a cream puff, have it reset to factory specs. If you drive aggressively, set max negative camber and 0 toe or a small amount of toe out. Add some 225 front tires and it will turn in much nicer.
