Evo x stock tires

Bought my 2014 x new within 9k miles and after some power mods stock tires where shot. I drive the car hard but is the factory alignment bad from mitsubishi?
I ask this because my rear two tires wore pretty even and the front tires wore hard in the inside . ( I know this is from cornering hard ) but the drivers side tire wore through and you could see the thread in the tire the other three where not near as bad.
Any advice when I put new tires on should I get an alignment or is this normal for the evo to wear like that on tire tread?

The Evo has a pretty aggressive alignment from the factory. Just make sure to keep up with tire rotations.

+1..keep up on tire rotations.

You should always get an alignment when installing new tires for your dd.

For my 8, I have 0 toe and factory specs everywhere else. My tire wear is fine and I dd my evo. I know it is not a X so do your homework and see what other X owners have had success with when getting an alignment.

GL!

From what I noticed the stock tires don't handle camber very well. When I was running -2 on the front it wore the stocks pretty fast. I'm -3 on AD08's 275/35 with 10k miles and you can hardly see the wear on the inner side.

As an aside, tires don't wear on the inside from cornering, they wear on the outside (assuming you have stock-like camber)

My stock tires lasted only 12k miles. They wore pretty well. But, I got the X aligned early on at the local suspension shop (Muellerized) and rotated normally. Never been racing, but push it on on/off ramps. :P
