Default Tire Thread

So i pulled my front tires to paint the rims yesterday and noticed that the inner part of tires are really worn out. but the middle and outter are perfectly fine. What would cause the uneven wear and would there be anything to fix them without having to buy new front tires. BTW there stock AP1 rims with the stock sized tires, as well as stock suspention(sp)

sorry im a newb with tires. thanks in advance!

uneven "tread" is likely aligment or worn suspension components.

Worn just on the inside is from too much negative camber.

good to know. if i were to get a alighment, would that itself help save the life of my tires. and im from the bay area(Northern California) where would be the best place to get this done for the price.

check your alignment, there may be too much "toe in" which would cause the wear. The Negative camber has to very significant.
