Default Tire wear out

i have a 2001 180FWD TT I went to get my oil change yesterday and I noticed that my DRIVER front tire was wearing out but the weird part is that is wearing off from the inside of the tire not the outside. I do remember i got my alignment around late May. Has anyone have this problem before? Or How did you guys fix it? Thanks!

You need an alignment often in a TT. You will be changing tires often anyways.

You need to get your toe-in/camber alignment checked. Also air pressure affects tire wear.

the stock, quite compliant rubber suspension bushings let suspension geometry change too much. Tires push against each other under cornering loads and what have you, and wear prematurely. Upgrade a-arm bushings to stiffer ones, and your tires will last longer.
