Alignment and tire wear

Hey everyone,

Just wanted some opinions on my tires, please take a look at the pictures attached, it shows inner wear. Think I would need a new set of tires or could this go another season? These are my summer set.

​Last time I got an alignment at Acura I was told they couldn't adjust camber due the design of the car... Should I get a camber kit and have another shop install? ​​​​​​

Im no expert but I would probably use them again, depending. How much camber are you running and do you know if they were able to 0 out the toe? Spec sheet would be ideal.

Toe affects tire wear much more than a little negative camber. They look okay..

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I've got the same issue. I had the tires rotated and noticed the right rear was wearing more heavily on the inner part. Looks just like the photos above. Now that that tire is at the front, it's got a pretty wicked wub-wub-wub noise that increases with speed. Is that anything to be worried about, or is it just a minor annoyance?
