So should I be worried about my tires getting eaten up since the new alignment has the front tires in red numbers?

The "actual" range quoted is the post-alignment numbers, and it looks ok for normal driving, but the caster angle means you will scrub your tires more in turns, and it will be more twitchy over freeway expansion joints and such. Caster is how far the steering knuckle is angled from vertical, and the greater the caster (higher number,) the further from vertical it is. The further from vertical, the slower, yet smoother, the steering, and better tight turning characteristics. The closer to vertical, the twitchier and faster the steering.

So as long as you don't turn real tight a whole lot, your tires will be fine. But since you own a vehicle in the real world, I'd have Les Schwab do it again on warranty (that it was incorrectly done) to get caster into spec. Then you'll have the best chance of good tire wear.

As AJM will readily point out, and I'll agree with him, that lifting GM ifs is not the greatest idea. As you're finding out the hard way
