Toe was out there.

Tyre damage looks consequent to that, apart from the tear. That could have been due to weakened structure because of the kerb or pothole impact (or similar) that caused the geo to be out in the first place.
No adjustments were made to the geometry ....... (I dont understand the numbers)
Wait, did they measure the toe on the old tyre? If so, those "before" measurements are junk.

all measurements were made once the new tyres were fitted

Worth having a wee look to make sure the spring is complete.

The RH rear wheel is pointing in the wrong direction, RHR toe figure is well out of spec there and the car will be crabbing.

How could the tyre affect static toe?
