inside of tires worn(camber)?
I noticed that the inside of my tires are worn more than the outside at 7000miles. Is it because of the stock camber or is mine out of wack. Also the front tires should wear faster than the rears right?

That is normal with the Evo's and yes it is due to the stock camber settings. Feel good if you get more than 12k out of your tires.

It is actually toe
It is actually toe in or out that wears tires quickly. get an alignment with 0 degrees toe and you can get 15-17K out of stock tires

Yep - I just bought new fronts at 12k miles... Same thing, almost bald on the insides. I had the wheels aligned when I had my new tires mounted, but don't remember the settings.
