Is my toe out of spec? Too much toe in or toe out? Never have aligned it and it's a 2011.

Thanks all
Spacers won't change your alignment spec. What is your rear set at as far as camber and toe? This sounds like not enough camber.

Mine is all stock, 2011 Sportsd Pack, 5,000 miles. All four are wearing out more on the outside than the inside, what the hell should I do? Take it to the dealer and tell them to re-alignment?

I also have more wear in the outside, so "normal" seems to be a f'ked up factory setting.

My stock tires only lasted 10k miles and that's with an alignment at about 3k miles.

You've got too much toe in as everyone has said. You can get an alignment for about $60 do eet
