Default Front tires wearing on the inside

I have 10,000 miles on my car, and I was switching to Mobil1, and noticed that the front tires were wearing more on the inside than the outside. What should the tire pressure be, in the mornings when I havent driven the car, or the tires haven't warmed up. I am trying to determine, if the front tires are out of alignment, or if the tire pressure is not correct. Your help is much appreciated.

At 10,000 miles I replaced my rear tires with OEM and had the front tires re-mounted as they were wearing on the inside.

I think this is normal if you do a lot of straight line driving.

By a remount of tires, do you mean, taking them off the wheels in the front and switching left to right?

You can dismount the tire from the rim and move them to the other side of the car. You can also take away a little negative camber in the front.
