Negative Camber

Should the E63 come with this much negative camber at the rear wheels?

See the dust on the tire surface, tells the story.

'12 E63 Wagon
From what I can tell, Mercedes spec'd -1.1 to -2.2 degrees of camber in the back as the spec, which seems quite a bit of negative camber to me and is in line with what Im looking at in the pic above (it looks more like -1 than -2). I have -3 on the front of the Z06 and it just looks glaringly obvious to me (and destroys street tires).

I get more negative camber on the front for cornering, but my fronts seem to ride perfectly flat with no negative camber.

The outer edges of the rear tires aren't even contacting the road surface unless you go blast some twisties.

Coming from a C63 I had to replace the rears twice in 2 years and the inside of the tires where toasted while the outside was still pretty good so I assume they put negative camber on all AMG cars...
