Default Tire Wear

It looks like I am in need of tires for my GS400 (bought in January). There is really a lot of inner wear on the tread and I am wondering if this is typical for a lowered (not slammed) GS400. I am going to get an alignment too just to be sure, I just want to be reassured the next set of tires won't wear this unevenly.

I had a Ford Focus SVT that chewed through tires despite getting it aligned, I just hope this is not what I am up against with this GS400.

Thanks!

You should also check your suspension components. Caster arm bushings, tie rods, ball joints, etc.

how old are your caster arms? the bushings in these wear out quickly and then your alignment goes off.
