Front camber is your friend, you need more of it... Camber bolts is the easiest/cheapest way. Not quite enough, but a lot better than stock which is disturbingly close to zero...

Also, zero toe all around for alignment is a good place to be for handling and tire life. Never just get a generic alignment, specify exactly what you want or you'll just get "in the green" which is a quite wide range of toe settings...

The outside edge of the middle rib in the RE71R wears down *fast*, that's just the way it is. When you have half tread left overall, the middle rib will be radically beveled with the outer edge worn almost to the bottom of the tread.
