FWIW, I run zero toe all around and have maxed negative camber on an otherwise stock car.
Everyone here has a different driving style.
Some people's driving styles are easier on tires than other people's driving styles.

When and where you drive, the road surfaces, road temperatures, tire pressures, and lots of other things can affect longevity of the tires.

Since you and I both live here in Colorado, just a couple of towns apart from each other, we could have a closer comparison, than us trying to compare to someone in Maine, Las Vegas, or Toronto and their tire wear.

Also, I've done several track days at HPR on my tires, and I'm not sure if you're taken your car out there yet. If you haven't, then our wear can't be compared against each other at all.
