I agree.... camber plates and lifetime alignment is the way to go here.... take it 2-3x/year to get your alignment checked....

IT'S a TOE PROBLEM and there are multiple threads describing this in the 2IS suspension forum.

Just noticed today my tires are wasting on the inside and my car is aligned and still on stock suspension I guess how the IS waste the front tires I have put close to 20k miles on the fk452s so I think I can get another 5k miles out of it so thats about right...

The tires look like OEM Turanzas which don't wear particularly great but shouldn't blow like that. The treads look like there's plenty of life left in them. I would take it to the dealer and ask what caused this - it doesn't look like negative camber (the wear line is too narrow) - looks like something sharp is rubbing the tire or (as someone mentioned above) that the tread is separating from the sidewall.

nothing sharp is rubbing the tire. the tire is stressed from the aggressive toe that comes "stock" on the IS. this very same thing happened to me at around 25k. get new tires and get an alignment (not to factory specs...tell them you want better tire wear...however you will lose some of the "sporty" handling characteristics).

Tires look worn - blown corner could be from agressive driving habits?
Is that cupping on the edges. - Balance problem?
Driving underinflated tires?
Rub?
Align?

Now I need new Front tires any advice will be appreciated.
