Don't think it normal. As i posted the toe is really aggressive compared to factory spec .max 0.18 im almost triple that spec. Every summer tire i had lasted me at least 4-5 summer since i only run about 5k a summer on them. These got toasted pretty quick since i put them back on in May. Front still show 70% tread left compared to the rear. These are Falken fk510 tires. I bet now that i got the toe in spec down to 0.05 each side it last me 4-5 summer season.
I get my alignment done by Lexus. Everything is in spec. I don't make any special requests.
Regarding my tires, I do drive probably twice the annual mileage other people do. I typically get 20-25k miles out of a set on this car before they're either bald or the ride quality is severely compromised, which in my case is about 1 full year, or 2 spring/summer seasons.
To be clear, there's still some life on my summers, but in that category, the wet traction is totally worn out.

I recently got my 2016 IS 350 aligned and Tire Kingdom told me my rear driver toe is pointing in .20º. They stated it isn't adjustable and advised me to get the rear struts replaced. The car has 67K, bone stock and the compression/Damping seems fine. Thoughts?
First off never go back to that place. Cause if they input your car into the computer system if literally show you where and how to adjust the toe.
