It was a leading question.. Is your toe zeroed out? Thats going to cause tire wear .

Go to an independent alignment shop and get a real one with a sheet.

NIce!! that you found it without going back to recheck the alignment!
the alignment specs would have indicated something was wrong on that corner, thus why we were adamant in getting one done.
but since you found it, good job!!
now you can take the appropriate steps and actions to remedy it

Koni yellows aren't monotube. A blown shock won't result in any difference in alignment.
OP: how did you determine it was blown? Blown shocks cause tyre cupping...but not edge wear. You installed them a few months ago and one is blown?? Konis are almost indestructible. How did this happen?
I don't think a blown shock is your issue...and I doubt you blew a shock.
You cannot be in "Acura spec" without a camber kit after lowering the car.

Ok, I will explain my self better since I am not on phone writing you and the damn autocorrector is on.
March 2016 - I installed a brand new set of Koni Yellow and brand new H&R Sport spring.
April 2016 - Have made align my car at an Acura dealer and at the same time, I installed a brand new set of TL-S wheel with brand new Potenza RE-760 on my cars.
Everthing was going well, didn't even think about checking if my tires were used in the correct way because it never happen to me before.
During summer 2016, between the end of June and July, I felt asleep at the during driving in the night and I was lonely in my car AND on the road I was going on. I am pretty sur i have jumped on a ditch on something like that. Theres was no visual damaged nor I was having mechanical damaged to my suspension components. The next day , I immediatly have redone my alignement by the same Acura dealer. Lets say that I cant say that my car is riding differently as normal. The ride is stiff and no clunk or bad noise appear. When I push on the back or the front the car, the suspension rebound the same way as before. Theres no sign of leaking of anything else that could tell me that I have blow a shock.
November 2016 - Last week, I have uninstall my summer tire to put on my winter tire. When I have made an inspection of my tires, 1 on 4 tires wasnt used properly. On the inside of the rear right tire, its used unaven, The tires is used like that : *image for reference*
All of the 3 others tires are all used normally.
And lets be clear, camber dosent do a shit about bad used tires, TOE does everything. My toe was in the acura spec.
Thank you for your help guys
