Default Any special alignment issues w/ 2005 LX?

Are there any special alignment issues/steps that need to be considered/taken with a 2005 LX470?
Does the active suspension/AHC pose any alignment problems?

I ask because despite a local, well-respected alignment shop telling me that the alignment and suspension looked great when I bought it, the tires that came with the rig had significant asymmetric outer tread wear and were cupped only where the tread was low and now with only about 1,000 miles on a new set of tires, I am getting a little asymmetric wear on the outer tread. Most of my driving is back/forth on a very curvy road, so that may be the cause of wear on my new tires.
Thanks.

I happen to have an 05 LX and have not noticed any alignment problems. Sorry I can't help with your problem. Please post again when you figure it out.

have you checked your tire pressures? low pressure can result in higher wear. 29# front, 32 # rear
