Lowered Alignment ?'s

So I just dropped my '03 Expy as was detailed in my other thread and used the included camber kit that came with the Ground Force drop springs. From what they told me when I got the alignment, I am within factory spec now and all but don't have much more room for adjustment at this point if I were to lower it more. How much out of spec can I go without going through tires every 10K miles. I don't mind them wearing out a little quicker than usual. I just don't want to buy tires every year. If the 2" drop needed the roughly 2° camber kit to stay within spec, will dropping another 1" make me go roughly 1° out of spec? If so, how bad is that. Right now, according to the sheet I am sitting at -1° on each side. How bad is -2° for tire wear? Thanks in advance.

Victor
