Do these treads look safe to rotate?

Do these treads look safe to rotate?
Have gotten them balanced and an alignment done, yet the front tires continue to wear particularly on the inner edges. The rear tires wear evenly and are still in great shape. I was planning to move the rears to the front at the same time I have the dealer look at the suspension for what might be causing the inner tread wear.
Any help appreciated!

You're probably safe to go the summer on those tires (be very careful in the rain), but come fall you'll need new skins.

Inner tire tread is typically a toe issue. How's your alignment

My guess would have been a bad compliance bushing, especially after an alignment and continued ware.
The tires look like they're safe to rotate but I wouldn't waste the back tires on the front if you know they're just going to get worn down (if they're not already).
I'd recommend getting it looked at if it's something you can't find in your driveway.
Good luck!

I'm guessing this question came about because a tyre shop told you that its safer to keep the good tread on the back (they're correct), and that you need to replace the tyres (they're correct).
Your fronts are worn excessively on the inside edge. All 4 should be replaced and you should get an alignment/fix the car immediately following the tyre install.
