Wearing the inside of the tires on both sides mean you front wheels are toed out to much it maybe set a factors spec but that's the deal. Looks by the alignment sheet the toe needs to be turn in to read -0.12 and I think that would fix your problem. And in case you wondered I did front end alignments for 12 years and I have seen this before.

Thank you evovert i will try that to. Im ordering some new tires (275/35) tomorrow and then ill take it to the shop and have them toe it out a little and see how she acts with it. Im going to do one thing at a time to see what will work and fix it. The tires will be a better brand the rite size and proper psi. Thanks to all of you for helping put my mind at ease, i was thinking of just treading it in but ill hold of and try this out.

are those bike tires on your car man? They look freaking stretched... normally its guys putting too big of tires on small wheels. You are putting a too small of a tire on an already small wheel

Hello guys and gals,

I really don't post on here but need some help or advice.

So my front tires are wearing really bad on the inside shoulder on both front tires. The suspension is stock and the alignment set to OEM specs. I noticed they wear about 4 months after I got the car when i was replacing my rims. I put new tires on the rear and they still look fine today and kept the front tires but just flipped them. So after 4 months of having them flipped the inside shoulder wear again. I went and had my alignment check today and it's all in the green. Does anybody have any ideals or had this problem.

The rims

Thank you in advance any advice.
Try getting someone else to do the next alignment, too. Doesn't look like they hit factory spec on everything.

Also find a shop that can do an alignment and actually knows how to do it - instead of some tech just going by “it’s in the green”... unfortunately, some shops train their alignment techs that if the specs show up “in the green”, then all is done and well... not true. “In the green” doesn’t always mean that the alignment is spot on and won’t tear the crap out of the tread in a few thousand miles.

One other tip:
If possible, rotate the tires at each oil change interval, that alone will help with tread life.

I read this comprehensive guide about tire wear fast reason and safety tips. Read Here Really Helpful
Lot of wrong and plain stupid stuff in it. Like the author never proof read his work
Couple of examples:
Over inflated tires wear faster because they have more contact with road
Front tires wear faster because the increased load on the front axle during acceleration AND de acceleration….
Power steering increases tires load/wear... Seriously!!!
