Unhappy uneven tire wear

Can anyone tell me why my front tires are wearing down more on the inside? This was the case on my stock wheels and now my aftermarket wheels.

Unhappy

Never saw uneven wear on my SC (which was kept for 93k miles), but wear as you describe is usually due to camber adjustment problems. It is time for 4 wheel alignment.

My car is at stock height.

I'll go ahead and get the 4 wheel alingment when I swap in my winter wheels in a couple of weeks. Thanks!

It's probably the alignment.

Did you get the wheel alignment yet?
How much did it cost you?
