Tire wear on inside of all four tires?

I changed my rims and tires for the snow season and noticed on my summer tires that they are wearing down much faster on the inside of all for tires, any ideas?

Camber is out, get a 4 wheel alignment and you're good.... Have you lowered the car?

I was thinking it was an alignment issue. Thanks for the replies.
As far as being lowered, that'd be a no.
completely stock untill Cobb puts out the AP for evos.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Alignment.

Even it you just got it. Esp. if you changed the any part of the suspension - all ways need an alignment after that.

Its prby a combo deal of camber and toe - that will eat tires. If you drive a lot - and its winter - set up for 0/0 and no toe. Then go back to camber in the summer. It will help the tires last longer, and give you more tire to grip with in a straight line.

I have noticed the inside edge of my AO46 wearing more than the rest of the tire as well. I figure that it is because of the aggresive suspension settings the car has stock from the factory. I have not made any modifications to my vehicle in any way. I have made it 22k on the stockers, the dealer wants to know how I have kept them in such good shape, I told them I have no idea because I drive in a spirited fashion most of the time.

The car runs negative camber, the inside of the tire will always wear quicker.

When they get to the tread bars take them off the rim and switch them to the other side.

evo camber can be -1 or -2. I run mine at -2 all the time. camber determines "where" on a tire the wear will occur. Usually if you have really excessive wear on a location in a very short time it indicates that there is a toe issue. I know my evo's toe was way in (~.5" total toe in) and it scrubs the tire constantly.

I had it re-aligned to straight up zero toe all around and haven't had a problem since.

Exactly, fix your toe. Camber shouldn't hurt it too much. Stock camber bolt is usually set to -1 when you buy the car.
Or you're not driving it the way it should be. My car was wearing out the outside faster
