So after reading a couple dozen threads on a few forums for hours, I have come to the conclusion that the settings for a basic and boring commute driver like myself is 0.0 toe in the front and factory setting in the back. So I took my car in for the alignment and have this alignment? My question is will this keep me from blowing through tires every 20k miles? I really want these tires to last their full 50k miles like all my other cars by wearing evenly vs on the inside. Or, do I need to take it back in and have everything in the front set to 0.0
That is a good base to start from; however, the aftermarket FIGs or RR Racing front LCA bushing upgrade is what will probably help the most regarding the front inner tire wear issue.
Bring your car to an experienced shop that specializes in alignment. I am slammed on coilovers and my alignment shop was able to give me 0 toe all around without camber kit or bushing.
Even with perfect 0 toe you will burn through front tires. These cars come from the factory with aggressive camber (~ -1deg) which will burn through the inner part of the tires quicker but even worse the cars are design to give you significant toe (understeer) during breaking and hard cornering which is why you have to replace your front tires every 20K. It is a "safety" feature. Spend the $300 to get the LCA bushing upgrade like GVill350 mentioned and you will fix the understeer problem and get much longer tire life.
