Default Toe or Camber issue?

So today I went to throw my OEM wheels back on for a few until my summer tires come in and I noticed this on the passenger side tires. I looked at the driver side but they seem a little better than these. During one of my services the dealer checked my alignment and it was okay, this doesn't look okay at all.

looks like the passenger side tire might have a negative camber. get it checked asap.

Dry rot! I would not drive these tires. Add in the cracks/scrapes (or whatever you want to call that wear) and I'd say you need new tires.

Oh the new tires were a certain, I had intended to just put them on for a day or two and have the new tires delivered right to the shop but decided against after seeing these. The thing is the inner wear is very uneven and very severe compared to the rest of the tires profile. It's the inner inch to inch and a half that's worn so severely as well as being trashed it's not uniform the entire away around the tire. I decided when I get my new tires I'll get the alignment done too so that way I know everything is sorted.

What brand/model of tires did you end up getting?
