Good degree of negative camber?

What's a good degree of negative camber that will make handling better but save tire life?

Camber is for old Mercedes not modern cars with a solid axle.LOL I hated that look on my SL. It always looked like it wanted to drag it's butt on the pavement.

-1 degree is all you need. Yes, -2 degrees will probably give you more of that turn in you are looking for, but you will wear your tires out fast on the inside.
