Front tires heavy wear on inside (normal?)
I don't know if this is normal but I feel I have excessive inner tire wear only on the fronts.
The car drives perfectly straight, doesn't pull, and feels well planted.
However the inner most inch seems to be taking all the punishment.
I rotated the fronts to the rear at 25k mi. which made me notice just how much camber this car is set up with after comparing to the rears which have very even wear.
Can you guys shed some light on what to do if anything? ie: leave it alone based upon my above description or take it to the dealer? or???
(this is a 10 year old car, with 90k+mi. Factory stock front end with no parts ever replaced and never had an alignment.)
what do you guys think?

ok already. I'll look into getting the car to the shop for an alignment.
Car is factory L-Tuned and has always had this inner tire wear.
Me and my tires thank you for all the feedback on toe-in.

thanks guys,
do you think using the Lexus dealer is important for an alignment? I have a hard time trusting any old place.
what would be great is to find one of those places such as a Firestone tire store that offers lifetime alignments.
