If you read my blurb on alignment, you probably figured out that I think anything over 1° of camber results in irregular wear - and that's the srtuation here.

Yes, Kia's specs for the rear can result in over a degree of camber, and that is clearly going to result in tire wear problems. But Kia's warranty doesn't cover tire wear in any way, shape, or form, so don't be surprised if get the cold shoulder for the Kia dealer. To complicate matters, getting an alignment somewhere other than the dealer could be used as evidence that there used to be a problem.

A better bet is to find an alignment shop that will work with you to get the alignment where you want it to be rather than what the book says.
