Well TBH I found 28 to be perfect for my fronts but I give the outer edges a hard time on corners so upped the pressure somewhat to give the middle of the tyre a little bit more wear...

i had 35 F in mine, and 33 R, and it was skipping all over the road, so i let them down to 32 and 30, and its much better now (195/45/16)

On corsa B camber is not adjustable as standard but do a search on here as ive posted MANY times about it. As some may know im running Group A rally suspension on my Corsa with alloy eccentricated topmounts so everything is pretty much adjustable. When I ran Spax RSX coilovers dropped 60mm the camber was horrendous - if I remember rightly it was OVER 3 degrees negative which gives you piss poor handling and munches through the insides of your tyres like theirs no tomorrow!!

Im running 1 deg neg on my camber, 3 deg pos of caster and dead straight toe.
