Front wear?
Well, both of my front tires are really worn on the insides. I only had the car for a few months, maybe 1K miles. Cars allignemnt is fine, it tracks perfectly straight. What can cause it? I will put new fronts on, but I dont want to kill them. Is it from a bad alighnemnt that was fixed and I have nothing to worry about, or is it something else thats out of spec?

You say alignment is fine. . .did you just have it checked/adjusted? Just because a car tracks straight doesnt mean there isnt a problem with the toe settings, which will destroy tires much more so than having too much negative camber.

Thats what I wanted to know.
Car is completey stock, tires are original ones that came from the factory, I guess I need to get a full allignment done.
Just wanted to check here first.

Yup, alignment issues. My S has 12K on it, has inside wear on the fronts like mad. Had the alignment done, sure enough almost EVERYTHING was out of adjustment. Camber, caster, and toe was messy. Getting new tires and alignment this Sunday
