Toe-in vs. Negative Camber

From my previous experience, I found that more toe-in increased the wear on the outside edge of the tires. Now my problem is wear on the inside edge of the tires, so I though I could manage the wear by balancing toe-in and camber. I am pretty sure that if I increase the toe-in, it will reduce the wear at the inside of the tire that is caused by the negative camber. It is true that the outside will wear more quickly, but then I will have more even tire wear and the tires should last as long as possible.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
