got car aligned, whadya guys think?
hi i just went to get my car aligned this morning. well after doing some searching here, i see that toe is the biggest issue in tire wear not the camber. im just wondering if this result looks good to you guys. right front = camber -0.97 & toe -0.02, left front = camber -1.14 & toe -0.01, right rear = camber -1.53 & toe 0.17, left rear = camber -2.11 & toe 0.10. do you guys thinks this would eat my tires? lol i have a hankook tires that have 200 thread wear. thanks

Questions:
What car?
Suspension setup?
Desired handling characteristics?
Front toe looks good. Front camber as well. You'll have more driver side camber, because that side of the car is heavier (assuming its a Prelude, as your name suggests).
More rear camber than front? Not necessarily a bad thing, but would probably cause understeer. Someone correct me, but isn't positive toe toe in? If so, sounds like they tried to give you near stock toe levels. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, and would definately give the car high speed stability, but might not necessarily be best for a track/autox car.
And no, I do not think it will eat tires. It sounds like a fine alignment for street use. If you really wanted to, you could have asked them to 0 the toe in the back, but I'm guessing that isn't what Honda recommended for your car, and you'll be perfectly fine with a little toe in back there, thats usually how they come stock.

Is the toe in inches or in degrees? If it's in inches, you have over 1/4" of total toe-in in the rear.
The front seems okay.
