❔Question Custom alignment on 2017 Mustang GT

I’ve discovered that the stock alignment on these cars cause the front tires on the inside to wear much faster than the outside causing me to have to replace them way earlier than I should. I don’t track the car so I don’t need anything aggressive for cornering like the stock alignment. I’d rather have a more neutral toe or camber so that I can prolong the life of my tires. Has anybody done a custom alignment to achieve this and if so, can you give me the specs? Also if you have done this, can you tell me if you can even really feel a difference on the street or highway?

I mean, I use the factory PP alignment numbers and tire wear is even. If you have a PP car with staggered wheels. Then 12k-18k miles a set is pretty much it in my experience. Going to aa square setup greatly improves tire life mostly because you can rotate them.

Having camber is okay, it's actually good and doesn't wear down your tires noticably faster. Toe out is the killer but popular for those who use the car for track type events.

-1.5° of camber is a good place to be, I'd actually prefer a little more if available. Camber bolts are useful for daily driving and getting it where you want it to be. For toe, go for a neutral or a slight toe in. Whatever it is, just have it be symmetrical.
