Can't remember exactly. It is somewhere around the -2.0 to -2.5 but maybe the toe angles and tyre pressures may be worth looking at.

As above, it's not so much camber that wears your tyres it's toe, which in a basic explanation is the amount of sideways drag on your tyres, the actual tilt/camber of the wheels doesn't wear them out on one edge, it's the combination, but more toe equals more wear.
