from what i hear its fine and good for corners up to 1.5 degrees negitive camber, as long as you have zero toe.
 
-1 deg is fine. The spec is .8, so you're just slightly outside of it. I personally run close to -2 on the street with occasional autocrossing with no abnormal tire wear. You do want to stay on top of your tire rotations though when running a decent amount of negative camber.

So yes, you should still be driving. Actually, just "drivin' around town" will wear your tires more unevenly if you have some negative camber. The harder you push the car in the turns, the more negative camber you want, both for better handling and for tire wear.
