Default How do these alignment specs look?

I just had my new front tires put on because the inside of my other ones were eaten alive (cords showing on one..). Got aligned after the new tires were put on and I just want to make sure these numbers are good by the experts here so that my tires don't get torn up again like they were... All measurements are in degrees. Thanks!

Front Left:
Camber -1.3 (was -1.4)
Caster 8.4
Toe .09 (was .08)

Front Right:
Camber -1.0 (was -.9)
Caster 8.3
Toe .03 (was -.09)

Front:
Cross Camber -.3 (was -.4)
Cross Caster .1 (was .1)

Rear Left:
Camber -1.6 (was -2.3)
Toe .12 (was .13)

Rear Right:
Camber -1.6 (was -2.5)
Toe .09 (was .22)

Rear:
Cross Camber -.1 (was .2)
Total Toe .21 (was .35)
Thrust Angle .02 (was -.05)

Tires are built and designed to have now more than -0.75 negative camber if wear is a consideration.

something you've posted before, and something that is patently not true

many, many, many cars come from the factory with more than .75 degrees of static camber - and obviously go even more negative as suspension movement is applied

not to mention, what might hold true for a $100 touring tire from Goodyear that is used on, say a Ford Taurus, and what holds true on an Advan, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Michelin used on a sports car are 2 completely different things

your toe measurements are eating your tires not your camber. pretty sure that front toe should be 0.0 and total toe should be 0.0. when you drive your front wheels spread apart from road force so if you are too positive + .09 your tires will go down the road like this "plowing" \ /
