Look at how messed up my alignment was
Pictures show the before and after. Technician said my atrocious wheel alignment was the reason why the inner side of my 4 tires were wearing out rapidly.

My toe was WAY off from the factory. I only got 16,000 miles out of the Advans because of it. I know this is more than some people get from the OEM tires but I never tracked or raced my car. If I ever buy another Evo I'm going to drive off the dealership lot and directly to a tire shop for an alignment.

I wore through a set of Kuhmo 712s pretty fast last spring/summer. Got a set of BF Goodrich tires along with an alignment, tires look perfect after fall/winter.
A good alignment is really priceless.

I know the "after" is all green, so it must be good, but I don't like they fact that the left and right settings are so different. And I prefer zero toe f/r, too. Looks like they upped the -camber on the right front but not the left...weird. Front camber has two settings (~ 1- and ~ -2), unless you have camber plates. I'd recommend the -2 setting for best performance at the cost of minimal additional wear.
On second look, I see they bumped up the r/f -camber because it was way low. Looks like either a bad reading or r/f sustained some damage at some point.
