Default FD - Camber adjustment based on tire temps

Some particulars on the car:

3rd gen - lowered to ~ 25.5" at fender arch (with me in the car)

2.2 degrees camber front.
2.0 degrees camber rear ( I think - will have to double check)
Tires are 285/30/18 Kumho V710 at all corners/

Fronts at 26 PSI
Rears at 28 PSI

I took tire temps following several runs yesterday in 90f degree weather.

The temps were consistently hotter on the inside of the tire, indicating I could use a little less camber.

Tire temps would typically be 8-10f degrees hotter on the inside:

outside 90f
middle 95f
inside 99f

The focus here is on the range of temps, not the temps themselves.

I've already asked this question on another forum, and so far the replies are limited to "those temps are too low"

The actual temps are not terribly important IMO - what I am interested in is adjusting the camber to even out the temps across the tire.

Temperatures were taken on 3 cars - my FD, Josh18_2k's V8 FC, and a Corvette Z06. All were driven hard, with similar temps, though the highest I saw were on the FC, with 121f on the inside.

Based on experience, can anyone make some reasonable guesstimates as to how much camber I should take out to start with?
