Default F-Tires wearing out on the inside!!!!

How many of you have or are experiancing this....

Today I noticed that my OEM front tires on both sides are worn out much more towards the inside vs. the outside or even, even tread wear for that matter...

If you are standing next to the car and looking at the tires, they seem they have at least 50 - 60 percent of the original tread still available, but if you turn the tire and look towards the inside, you see extreme tire wear....

I had my car at the dealer today and they said this is normal....

I also confirmed by taking the car to a just tire center, that the car does not need any sort of alignment settings...

Anyhow....how may of you have experianced this or are seeing signs more tire wear towards the inside of your front tires vs. an even tread wear.....

well the car does have negative camber dialed in from factory, so I would expect this to be normal.

It is normal, a trait of the car. It helpes the car grip better in cornering. If you want to get some more miles out of the fronts before the inside edges are gone, swap them. They will have to be taken off the rim to do this correctly. Depending on what they charge to do this, you might just be better waiting and replacing them down the road.

Just drive harder in the corners to tear off some of that extra rubber you have.

I just had a flat head screw removed and patched. This is my second full set of OEM's. They said this is normal, negative camber.
