Default OEM alignment Camber front inside wear

I have stock S02's on the front of my MY2000 and the insides are almost worn smooth. I've only autoX'd once and don't drive often but when I do I do drive aggressively. Should the OEM alignment cause the inside of the front tires to wear dramatically? Or did I buy a preowned car with the camber dialed more aggressively for autoX'ing as opposed to a daily driver? I love the handling but I want the fronts to wear a bit more evenly.

if your camber is in proper specs, you should not see any camber wear. check your camber/toe/heel etc etc.

I have been driving with a variety of street and track tires on both street and track for nearly four years now.
If you drive at all aggressively, I believe you will definitely see more wear on the inside of your tires, especially at the front but also some at the rear. That has been my experience, so about halfway through the tread life, I have the tires remounted to run on the opposite side of the car.
