Default Tire/Camber problem?

Okay, so in August after installing a camber kit, I had it aligned. At the end, the guy told me "The front still isn't too on but the rears are perfect." I looked at the paper and the rear tires were at -1.6 and -1.5. Now, I have to replace my rear tires They are literally bald the whole inside half. This clearly looks like a camber problem? Did I get screwed by the alignment people or do we really need to replace our tires every 4 months? My front tires look brand new by the way, the ones he said were off. Also, anything I can fight for?

I have Hankook V12's on by the way, and while I'm here can I get a good recommendation for long lasting tires? I have a total of an hour and a half commute every day.

your toe is probably off. Maybe he didn't adjust the toe properly?

According to the paper the toe is at .18 degrees and is dead smack in the middle of that green bar thing.

Will do. Will have them up tomorrow since it's dark out already

This is so frustrating. They scheduled to see me at the beginning of their lunch time after I told them I would be waiting there since they claimed a 30 minute job. Appointment was at 2, I left at 5
People there didn't seem like they even cared, and then they never gave me back my wheel lock (I forgot to ask for it back but did I really have to ask?), and when I came back asking for it, they had a box full of other customers wheel locks! Hello! Doesn't that tell you anything! Give them back to people!

When they adjusted the camber did they adjust the toe also?
