Was this ALIGNMENT bad?

Well always had an issue with my tires wearing out about once or twice a year. Last two years I've been able to get just about 30,000 miles on an 80,000 mile tire warranty. Year 2022 & 2021 I've been able to get 1 set of tires each year. Years before that was about two sets per year. And yes they have been getting rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles. So is this alignment bad compared to attached sheet. Had it at dealership once for this and they said it was within specified range.

Can you do it as a non-attachment?

Seems like left rear toe is a little excessive (though still in spec), but I feel like I'm looking for issues. Nothing looks all that off about it.

Although if you're taking it just one place, they could be doing the old trick where they don't want to adjust something, so one guy sits on the fender while the other guy hits print to make it look on paper like it's ok. Not saying that happens often, but I have heard of it being done.
I don’t see anything alarming at all, consider driving habits, tire pressure and quality tires. But nothing there will kill a set of tires. What do your tires look like?

Maybe drive it around the block and see what a re-alignment says... something may be loose or worn
Only thing I installed on the back was the v2 torsion bar from Evilla.
Tires are wearing out from the outside to the inside. I drive mostly back roads and stay off one cause its rough as hell (they just put tar down and gravel on top). I don't take turns or corners that fast.
Had a '14 pathfinder that would wear front passenger tire from outside first to in. Never could figure out why. Had it aligned several times at different places and it was never that far out of spec.

Starting to feel like my car is like that also. Going to start checking air pressure once a week this time around.

Tire pressure has been between 33 and 35. Just went out and checked them just to see what it was. Plus just had them rotated and balanced two days ago at Costco. All tires where reading 38 or 39.
