Burned through new tires in 1 month
maybe they didn't put it your new tires.. lol. just throwing it out there :P!
anyway, you notice any low mpg's after all the wear? maybe just be a bad alignment job. toe is the reason it would be wearing out so quick. other than that, you maybe be drifting too hard and going fast and furious?

This is unbelievable. But wouldnt the toe/camber cause uneven wear?
Even a bad alignment wouldnt turn tires into complete slicks in 1 month....literally looks like you had to of been doing burn outs at every stop sign. If the alignment was this bad, your car would be shaking like crazy at higher speeds.
If this truly happened in 1 month, I would have to agree with charleski...the new tires you may have bought were never put on.

This is either B.S. or you didn't get what you paid for!
Just because a company has an alignment rack doesn't mean they have the knowledge to use it! Any time you have alignment done you should have before/after spec sheet without fail! I don't believe you could have had new tires put on even with very bad alignment and have them look like what you posted in a month. Either you didn't get the tires you paid along with a very poor alignment or you do burnouts 24/7!

thats ridiculous. The alignment is FUBAR. the rears are toed in. positive camber would have the same effect, but at a MUCH MUCH MUCH slower rate. much like inner wear happens with negative camber. Although its possible that they just flipped your old tires on the wheels, its doubtful. most shops arent THAT dumb. (most) Go back and make the shop deal with it. Its barely in the realm of possibility that you could do that in 2-3K miles with aggressive driving without bringing the inner tread to the same lever. Its also pretty ridiculous that they didnt give you a print out with the before/after alignment specs. Since the service was so recent and the tires were new they are pretty much obligated to at least re-check the alignment for free. But if it were me, I would make them pay to have the alignment checked at a more competent shop.

oh damn, you're in the bay area. I get alignments at Agundis Repair Shop. They are modded car friendly and know what they're doing, and they're located in SSF, probably 15 minutes from that other place.

I would say defective tire if it wasn't two tires showing the same wear. I'm putting it on the alignment.
