Do I need to replace these front tires??
Outer and inner parts of my front tires are wearing out faster and now show white lines both inside and out but the center part still has some tread left. Do I need to replace them right away or can I wait? Would alignment fix issues with uneven tire wear? I would post pics but don't know how to...

Replace them immediately.

Thanks for all replies! I have newer IS OEM wheels (front and back) with tires ready to be swapped with these so will do it this weekend. I was trying to get most life out of these before replacing but I'm probably taking a huge risk.
What would cause this kind of uneven tire wear? I've read factory alignment spec would make inside of front tires wear quicker, but how would the outside wear this quickly?? I don't take corners hard with my IS.
Should I get alignment done right after putting new wheels/tires?

I do check tire pressure every few weeks but did not notice anything low. And I'll plan on doing alignment soon after new wheels/tires are put in.
Is there anything else that may cause this? (The tire on the other side in the front has the same uneven wear on the outside).
