Toe specs and tire wear

What are optimal toe specs for a G35 coupe with sports package? Ive been told two rather contradicting things - both from people at a dealer. The issue had to do with tire cupping and prior I had been told that the toe should be fairly low (close to 0) then later I was told it needed to be higher to help prevent tire cupping, anyone have any input on this? Thanks in advance.

You want the toe to be set at the most positive setting within spec. This will help to slow down the feathering, although it won't eliminate it.

Are tire feathering and cupping the same thing? The old tires cupped but didn't have a feathering problem I dont recall. The problem was also only with the fronts. When you say that they should be set as high as possible, within the specs, are you talking about all 4 tires or just fronts?
