Shredding front tires

0 toe on our cars won't cause that, if it is in fact zero toe then you have other issues.
I've been running zero toe with -2.2 camber and my tires look nothing like that.
Get the alignment checked and go from there, I would get it taken care of before you get your new tires. I'd hate to see another post like this with your new tires.
Good luck b

spdracerut - Spec sheet shows 0 toe in front.
Get a friend, a tape measure, and measure it yourself. Takes one minute.

Just because the spec sheet shows that does not mean it actually is that. The alignment machine might be out of calibration, etc.

This is quite. Depending on the alignment facility and the technician doing the work it's easy to create false numbers by manipulating the information that is being displayed. You can display actual settings, or set the machine to zero and display plus/minus also depending on the software.
It's also a possibility that the alignment machine/rig is off calibration. It's also a possibility the car moved during the alignment. But that is seldom.

well what bout your toe out on turns. did they measure that. also, is it a possibility that your kw are too hard or dying on you. ive seen cars with blown schocks and they have the same wear on the inside of the tire.

Get an second opinion on your alignment specs. Have another shop hook up the sensors and see what the machine reads.
