Default Roadster needs Help, excessive tire wear

I have a 05 with 6800 miles, stock suspension. while traveling last week I hit a major storm outside Milwaukee and started to hydroplane around 50 mph. When I got home I took a good look at my tires and found the front tires were worn on the outside edges and were down to the wear bar on both sides. the rear tires, the tops are tilting inwards and the inside of the tires are down to the wear bars. what's left of the tires are around 6/32. I serach this site and read all the notes concerning tire wear, some say it can be aligned, other say nothing we can do, and other say we need some sort of alignment kit. I understand that the Continentals are not a good tire. I'm going in sat for an alignment and putting on new Goodyear Eagle F1's. Does anyone know if any of the manuels have a std alignment spec? I can't afford to do this again in 7k miles after spending $1100 dollars for the new tires.

Thanks for your help.
