NEED HELP.!! Issue with tires.!

Guys I'm in need of some desperate help. I've gone through 4 tires in the past 3 weeks. I will be posting picture in a bit but I just wanted to see if anybody can help me . The inside of my tired keep getting eaten out while the rest of the tire stays completely fine. I took it to get aligned 2 months ago and the guy told me that the toes were good, the tie rods etc were fine. He still aligned it for me. But it's still happening.ANYBODY know what this might or can be??? Please help me guys. This is my daily. The car is COMPLETELY stock at the moment but before I start putting work into it I need to know what's going on with my tires. Thanks guys!

as you can see the rest of the tire is meaty, but the inside is completely gone all around.

What location is that tire (LF,RF, etc). All 4 corners are showing that level of damage?

If that was not caused by rub it maybe some severe toe problem

Im no alignment expert but there is something way off & likely toe related

But w/out knowing all the details we can just guess. You need to get this EVO on the alignment rack ASAP & post up the Before & Current measurements

Yeah that looks bad. Check back with the shop you took it to, and if they're of no help, try else where.

I would lean toward alignment also. That's a huge amount of wear in short time for it not to be alignment related. Something happened in the last two months if he was right about the car being in spec at the time.

Camber alignment is really off that is why the inner part of the tire worn faster as normal. Better have a complete wheel alignment check for any broken bushing.

You need to go somewhere else. That shouldn't be happening and any god shop shouldn't continuously tell you everything is ok when is very apparent it's not.

That definitely looks like the tire is rubbing against something. Check your struts and see if the tires are making any contact with them. If it's cleared of everything then definitely a full alignment was not conducted. There are a few shady alignment shops where you take it in and they just do a simple zero camber but dont adjust toe and vise versa. I would take it back to the alignment shop and have them mount the sensors and SEE where your toe and camber is at, especially after they did not even give you a completed sheet to begin with.....
