Toe -0.13/0.07
Rear
Left/Right
Camber -1.7/-1.4
Toe 0.05/0.13
The printout that I got from them has the front toe bad in both wheels, and in the rear, only the camber of the right wheel is good. He made it seem like a big deal that they were that far off. My concern is that I don't feel any pull in the wheel, and it seems like I go straight down the road. I'm about to take a 500 mile round trip down to San Diego for a Super Bowl party with some friends and want to know if I should get it adjusted before I make the trip. If I should, would your suggested numbers work best for daily driving? I had really cheap tires put on, so want to get as much wear out of them as possible.
Yes, the alignment specs I recommended should also yield you excellent tire wear.
Your alignment is off enough that I would recommend having it aligned. Over the life of the tires, 500 miles isn't that big of a deal, so you could do it before or after.
