i dunno, the stock 225s lasted 14k with light tracking on 8.5s. only towards the end did they start to feel wrong, and they were only mildly lopsided. i could have probably flipped em around at 10k and gotten another 5k (so 19 in total).
and you never know when you might need that extra bit of cornering ability.

I think that might be indicative of another issue.
I have a good number of miles on my tires with no noticable outside-inside differences in tread.
Now, on my subie, I had the toe at 0.45 inward (I am not sure why. Came to me that way) In under 2k miles, the outside had worn almost slick. THis is with nearly zero camber.

Oh. Ok, I see your point. My 'pologies. I suppose if you had pos or zero camber on the front and -2 on the rear that you would get understeer. I dont think the differences that you are seeing here will translate to EXCESSIVE understeer. Such and effect should be small enough that you could dial it out by stiffening the rear dampers (bandade, I know) or moving your rear sway in one hole. I dont think it would be noticable.
EDITED to ADD: I saw your edit. Weak sauce, man.

I only managed 10k out of the stockers, and that was with factory suspension/alignment :D

i got great track tire wear across the thread with a 1.2 and a 1.4! 0 toe. car is predictable and feels just as good as when i was running 1.7 and and 1.9 . I DID get inside street tire wear with the 1.7.
i am beginning to believe that the 0.5 really doesnt make any difference in my car except increased street tire wear.
