Toe or camber. Most times out of 10 toe is the cause for tire wear on the inside. Get an alignment

They didnt do it correctly what i listed is th ecause of it and thats alignment related. If it was tire pressure it would be either wearing in just the center or both the inside and outside of the tire

Yeah, more than likely toe. Had the same problem and didn't notice until after a 2000 mile trip. It's possible the wear was from before you had the alignment done if it was just a couple months ago.

Yeah I think it was, would an alignment help if it was done after the tire started wearing from the inside or it will keep getting worse nomater the alignment? Assuming the tire will follow the uneven tread.

U can get an alignment but the damage is done. they will tend to wear faster now in that spot. I would still get it redone to slow the process though

ALso depends if you slammed your ride, my tires shave easily in the inside cause of my drop. I've already aligned it with the dealership and they also tell me i need a camber kit bad. So usually if it is wearing in the inside and your ride is lowered u need a camber kit!
