Ok so the car has about 9300 miles on her and im riding with the stock advans. The tires have i'd say 50% tread left so I definitely want to use them up then put on new tires that I have sitting in the garage. My problem is for the front tires, there is significant camber wear on both of them. The inner tread is almost smooth on both of them. Now from what I read, seems like the way the evo comes from the factory with the camber settings, other people have been experiencing this.

So my question is what is the best and reasonable thing to do?
1. Get an alignment?
2. Forget the alignment and rotate the tires?
3. Put on the new tires soon and just try to sell the rears as they are fine and ditch the fronts?

Let me know what you guys think is the best option.

If it were me, I'd rotate the tires. I'd rather delay having to spend all that money on a new set of tires while getting your money's worth out of your tires, plus it's almost summer anyway.

Rotate your tires more frequently from now on, it's not hard.

Well I have a set of tires in the garage so I already shelled out the cash for that. I can rotate the tires thats not a problem but is it safe to drive with these tires with the inner tread almost rounded smooth? Yeah they will be in the back if i rotate them so I'm sure they won't really wear much at all but I know the ones in the front will eventually start wearing unevenly. I just have to decide whether to let the evenly wear tires roll in the front or take them off and try getting some cash for them.

In that case, maybe put the new tires on and get an alignment afterward so you don't face the same issue again, then sell the tires.
