I assume Ben means more INSIDE shoulder wear.

A quick google-based search shows comments all over the topic.

Perhaps the extra dynamic camber (caused by more caster) causes more inside shoulder wear if the driver isn't pushing hard enough through corners, less wear if the setup is a good match for driving style and won't save outside shoulder wear if the driver is cornering very hard?

Eg a few degrees of extra dynamic camber on a street car will reduce (but not prevent) outside edge wear from a hard track day.

Yep - inner edge tyre wear is a factor according to Flatirons Tuning.

I also neglected to rotate my tyres for a year or more and it might have prevented getting another year or so from the set. :)

And yet I still want to swap sides and rotate my camber plates to point inward/rearward for another 1/2’ of caster, too much is never enough when it’s in the interests of research :P
