Default S.O.S.! How do i fix toe wear?

my car is lower on coilovers and the rear is semi tucked on 19s and the front is flush. I recently got an alignment, but my tires are wearing out faster than before, especially at the tip of the tires. How can I fix the Toe wear? Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. Brian.

if you're gettin wear AFTER the alignment.. then it was a botched alignment. Same thing happened to me. I got an alignment right before a long trip, by the time I go there I needed new tires and I left with brand new tires! What kind of machine did they use? I found out that the cheap old *** machine they used on mine is what caused my problem. They lifted the car up in air first then back down, when they did the alignment, they didnt give the shocks time to set themselves so after the alignment, the car finally set in a different lower position and wore the hell out of the tires

either way, you should be able to go back in and get a free re-check. As said above, no need for new toe arms

oh and if you're gonna go air... You're gonna have even more problems with toe if things arent done right
