the tires wear on the inside edge so without a alignment change harder tires will do the same just take a little longer some one said set it close to 0 just would like to be sure before i have it done

I'm not sure I would set it to 0. I think you could get away with a very conservative 0 toe front and rear and -.25 camber front and rear with around 8* caster. I would bet at that alignment setting you will get very long life and even wear from the tires. At 0 camber I would be worried about wearing off the outside edges prematurely.
