aligned and 3 months later..
so i had an alignment done on my car just over 3 months ago, at the time i got my rims and tires put on and yesterday i had called and scheduled to have them rotated on Friday cause i figured it was about time. and today i had to wonderful surprise of having a flat! so as i put my spare on i notice how bad the wear is. both front tires at like this and the rears have almost no wear. my alignment is fine and i dont have insane camber. whats the deal?! anything else that can cause wear that fast?

I'll third confirmed that it's Toe. Did the shop give you a piece of paper that states the before and after specs of alignment? Off topic question: what is the width of that rim and what tires are your running?

the tires are 3 months old and everything except camber was in the green when i aligned the car, with those tires on. the tires were on the car without alignment for at most 3 weeks.
atleast it happened around the time weather got cold here.. had an excuse to put the stockies back on for winter a little early.

IMO normally improper toe creates a real jagged chopped tire that you can see and feel. Camber creates a more smooth wear pattern. I had too much toe - it was set too high so that tires were pointing outward. Your shop needs to give you a printout. Let us know your numbers so we can share our settings. They will not be perfect but thaving them should help you get closer.
After a year and a set of tires I finally found mine
