It's not camber that kills tires, it's toe. You can have LOTS of camber, as long as you have zero or very near zero toe, you'll be fine.

You'll find a lot of "hardcore" autocrossers will show up at an autocross, bolt on their race tires and make a quick toe adjustment (front and/or rear) for competition, and change it all back at the end of the day.

The guy I bought my Miata from a good long while back brought two wrenches with him to each autocross to change the front toe. He just adjusted one tie-rod exactly two turns to get the toe out that he wanted for autocross, and turned it back exactly two turns for the drive home. His steering wheel was off-center while he was autocrossing... but that's not the kind of thing you'll notice on course!
