Default 2009 IS250 AWD alighnment specs?

I'm going to get new tires and an alignment. Previous set wore pretty quick on the inner parts of tire. I thought i remembered reading something about setting the tow to zero, for max tire life. Is this correct? Any other requests i should make for the alignment?

Keeping zero toe is a good practice for better tire wear in general. Though for just inner tire wear, that is usually associated with too much negative camber or dynamic toe under braking (where car likes to pull left or right when braking due to soft lower control arm bushings).

The bushing and the improvement in the inner tire wear are discussed in detail here.

As for on the bone stock end, the best you can do to maximize tire wear is keep the toe close to zero and be gentle in braking.

Awesome thanks for info. Do you know are the bushings the same for AWD vs RWD?

I believe so, as I occasionally have that same tendency as the one in that thread I linked.

So this is the alignment, before and after. Everything look good?
