Default Excessive Tire wear problem

I have a 2008 Lexus LS460L with Vossen VVS-075's on it.....the front tires are Michellin XSE 245/40R 20's.....I am expriencing some serious road wear on the inside tread of both tires so much that they are making some bad road noise....The tires only have about 8k miles on them.....I have had the front end aligned as well.....Has anyone had the same problems with these tires or wheels?? I cant seem to find anyone including Lexus that can help me solve this problem!!!

Thanks

Unfortunately, if the alignment is within spec, there might not be much you can do about it except rotate the tires as often as realistically possible... even if you can't rotate them, at least swap them side to side every few thousand miles...

that being said, I'd love to see the alignment numbers... When it is excessive wear like that, it is usually a combination of high negative camber (some is spec'd by Lexus) and excessive toe out or in...
