Default Decipher These Alignment Specs... PLEASE!

When I put a new pair of S02's on the rear, I asked for a bit more aggressive alignment. I got what I asked for as measured by feel. I also paid the price... fast inner tire wear. I just went with recommended "tire-saver" alignment specs. At speeds, the "tire-saver" specs are great, however, I don't enjoy powersliding/drifting on 2-lane backroads. And yes, I know slower entry speeds would take care of the former.

Here are the "aggressive" specs. Please... anyone.... explanation each measurement to me and how it affects response and tire wear. Thanks.

Your front toe killed the front tires.... Next time get the front toe set to zero. Its also likely that the rear toe setting is too great and causing your rears to wear too quickly.
