Factory "specs" gives a really wide range of what's considered acceptable. For better tire wear, I would go hair toe-in for the back, with -1.0 to -1.5 camber. Front, I would go -0.5 to -1.0 camber and 0 toe. You can up the negative camber up front even though it might lead to premature wear since they'll still outlast the rears and you plan to replace all 4 at once. If you're ok with swapping only 2 at a time and want most tire longevity stick with the lower camber settings.
