What kind of alignment problem do I have?

[David Schmidt]

Rolling around under the car changing my oil this weekend, I'm horrified to see this [no, not the crap on my garage floor]... it's mirrored on the inside of both front tires.

Excessive toe out

my alignment was shit from the factory. wore out driver's side tire before the passenger side. uneven wear on both.

That's what I get for wearing out my fronts before the rears are down to the cords. More burnouts are called for.

i can't even imagine how thats possible my rears lasted 7200 miles lol

I took advantage of a free alignment check offer at Monroe. Maybe it is a good idea for new owners.

The wear is even; that gives confidence it's an alignment issue and not a physical fault or failure.

As you get the alignment, I'd do so on new fronts, not the existing.

For new, new Owners, Ford does allow for one free alignment in the first 12 months.

The pressure gauge is used often. Every few months, I check tread depth and record wear patterns.

And yes, more burnouts. Right in front of the neighbors.

I had/have the same issue on my
2018. My front ps4s were shot in about 15k miles just along the very inner edge. I had alignment checked twice. Toe has always been in spec. Camber was a tad more negative than spec, like -2.2 iirc, and spec is -1.5 to -2.

I think that's toe in.

Take it to a Firestone alignment shop and buy the $200 lifetime alignment. You’ll thank yourself later!

That's caused by too many right turns. You need an occasional oval track day to get in more lefts and even things out. ;)
