Default 2014 alignment issue

Searched the forum but seemed to get lost in the search results.
I have 2014 and seem to be having alignment issues. 60,000 km on it and have went through 4 front tires and 2 rear.
I had an alignment done when I Changed the front tires at 35,000 km. But they are gone again. Replaced with original tires that were on the car when. I bought it, in fact had to wait for them to be manufactured.

is anyone else having a similar problem?
Any Suggestions on replacement tires ?

Thanks

Drop the camber close to 0. Did you eat the inside of the tires? High camber does that and your toe could be much smaller.

I'm a big fan of a zero camber set up on street cars.
The tires will wear properly and less driver input will be required on imperfect road surfaces.

ZP tires come with the car for a reason. Replace your tires with ZP. My wife drives the car. I DO NOT want her screwing around with a flat tire and I'm not in the car with her. PERIOD.
