Default Rear camber and tire wear

Question regarding the rear wheel camber and subsequent wear on my V6S coupe. I encountered some rear end slip during a spirited turn and later checked the rear to see the outside third pretty much cooked. My uninformed understanding was that vehicles are generally set up to have negative camber. Is that not the case for the F-type? Else, could it be my tires, driving style, or how Jag sets them up from the factory? My vehicle has approx 14000 miles, OEM Pirelli Zeros (I know you guys despise them ) at 40 psi, RWD, and do occasional spirited driving, but no track days.

Apologies if this topic was previously discussed, but my quick search didn't dig anything up. Thanks!

Unfortunately, for aggressive driving, the rear camber on the F-Type with the OEM suspension is not aggressive enough, and it cannot be adjusted. The fix is to install lowering springs which changes the geometry providing more negative camber.
