im looking to get a camber kit to get a bit more negative camber so the top of my wheel can clear the fender. in other words get it to look more like this // \\
Can someone tell me which one of these do i need or do i need both of them?

People will argue toe solely affects wear...some will argue camber solely affects wear...
The whole alignment affects tire wear.

No way 2 to 3 times a year. I am dropped on coilovers with about a 2.3 inch drop. I drive the national average of 15k. My Hankook Ventus V12 last about 20k including taking it to the drag strip. As long as you got a solid alignment you should be fine.

The 2IS with stock ride height has wear issues, but they're correctable with toe adjustments.
Current fashion does not promote long lived tires which is one of the reasons (I'm certain) the General UHP is so popular. It's a really cheap tire available in "tuner" sizes. It is far from a great tire, and the only category where I'd call it good is price.

Even without a proper alignment you wouldn't go through 2-3 sets of tires per year. I do get a alignment every time I get new tires but it is still way out of specs. I really think if my alignment was better I could be squeezing 30k out of my tires.

actually for those of us who run vip stretch, the UHP is a very good for stretch applications, the sidewall isn't so stiff so it makes a lower profile and of all the people here in hawaii who run this tire i've only HEARD of one bubble incident vs the numerous Falken bubbles that appear here on CL.
