that's fairly normal to see the inner treads wear more than outer on our cars. wat psi are you running? do you do a lot of highway miles?

yah, psi is correct. i think for your driving you might want to get the alignment to toe zero on the front
and run a tad higher psi 36.5 to 37 cold.

i would try the higher psi first on asymetrical tires. i dont like messing with alignment unless it's needed.
