Uneven Tire Wear!

Aftermarket tie rods will not fix your tire wear problem. Your camber is excessive and your cross toe is very small compared to OEM spec. Camber is not an issue until you've hit around -2.5 degrees and after that, you WILL get camber wear, even if your toe is perfect. Incorrect toe will only accelerate wear, but camber wear will still be there.

Based on what you posted from the alignment shop....your front and rear toe is good...within spec.
Your camber is bad..... -3 degrees all around.
As far as the "chopping" in the front...I mentioned before...its gotta be something else like bad lbj, bad bushings, wheel not balanced, wheel not hubcentric mounted, etc....

Get the rear adjustable toe rods (they're made my top speed which is owned by megan racing now) and get the rear adjustable traction contrl rods from megan/top speed as well.
As for your fronts take a look at the caster arm bushings, also take a look at the ball joint and upper control arm; if youre tires are getting 'chopped' up on the inside i suspect its not due to it wearing out but due to something rubbing or hitting it. Are your wheels the correct offset?
Also, something you might all want to take in is that florida roads get super duper quadruply hot. So our tires wear out faster then up north, etc. We don't have the best of roads either.

bad toe will usually cause "saw-toothing" on the tire.. not really chopping.
chopping like stated above n beyond is usually caused by worn out shocks/spring/bushing etc. perdy much whatever that is worn beyond oe spec/
