Crazy Front Tire Wear
OK, before the flaming begins, I understand that the Advans wear very quickly- accepted fact of Evo ownership.
So, I'm under the car today changing the oil for the second time (4200 miles) and "Holy ****e!" the inside tread block on each of the front tires is down to 1/32. The wear is even on both sides and the other tires still look new, including the other 4 blocks on the front tires.
My question is- Was this an improper alignment from the factory or is this completely my fault? The car is used as a DD, usually with less than 20 miles per day(purchased in Sept 06), very few high speed turns, mostly <50 mph. The car is completely stock.
I've owned several high HP cars in the past and never had this problem before.
Ideas?

May have been improper factory alignment. We normally come with -1* camber up front but our camber bolts have the ability to go to -2*. Check toe as well as that tends to eat tires the most.

There are many threads about this, just search and you will see. The car comes with toe-in from the factory (helps give the car razor-sharp steering response), just take it to have it aligned and dial out the toe-in.
