Excessive caster is a drivability concern and will not cause tire wear. It will however cause instability in the steering. It will cause the steering to not automatically center after making a turn, and in server cases can cause the steering to be extremely sensitive and over-steer at the slightest input. This can be made worse by wheel shimmy. If caster is unequal from side to side, the the car will pull to the side that is most negative.
Faster wear on your tires and possibly steering wheel shaking. Caster is the measurement of how much your tires point in toward the center when the wheel is straight ahead. Think of a grocery cart, the front wheels are caster wheels, if they are not straight ahead they wobble and drag on the store tile floor. That is what your tires will do to a lesser extent on the pavement.

What vehicle uses a negative caster angle?
Hello there. Negative Caster Angles were used in many vehicles prior to 1975, including Muscle Cars, Compacts and even Sport Cars. This was done due to the pneumatic effect, which is highly prominent on radial-ply tires (Which were used on almost all vehicles up until 1975) as well as being a cheaper way to counter effect the excessive effort needed to turn muscle cars, which had large iron block engines in the front. However, these vehicles when brought into shops today will have their caster made postive. Radial-ply tires are almost never seen these days, and any increase in steering effort can be counter-acted by power steering.
