how many miles did you have on those tires before you had it lowered? if they were your original set than i would say lowering your car 8000 miles ago probably wouldn't have caused your tires to wear out like that. i see that type of wear on IS's all day long. best thing to do is to get a new set of tires and than do an aligment. that way your new tires won't wear like they are now. and btw, im lowered also with f-sports and eibach and my tires wear pretty evenly, even on the rears.

humm that's interesting. Do you know also how much negative your camber is?
This is mine at -1.3 degrees camber and i try to keep my psi at around 35psi with about 7k miles.
Im wondering if only a few psi would make the tire wear that much?

I know it pays a factor, I'm just curious as to why its focused on the inner edge and not the tire as a whole.

I have an 06 with almost 58k miles. I am on my 3rd set of tires. The first two sets also wore unevenly on the inside tread blocks of the front axle. I have had the car aligned 3 different times. I'd like to agree that a simple alignment will fix the issue, however my experience tells me that it may be a little more complicated than that.
I have been lowered on Tanabe NF210s (a mild drop) for less than a year and with the stock springs I still had this uneven tire wear problem.
There is a thread on here from a few months back where a member actually contacted Lexus about the issue and sent in a letter explaining the problem.

from looking at the pictures, it looks like your almost to the wear bars on your tires. when your at the wear bars, you have about 3/32 left of tread (correct me if im wrong) and it looks like you have maybe about 3/32 to 4/32 left on the middle and outside edges. if those are in fact your stock set of tires and haven't had any tire work done at all since you first got your vehicle, i would think that you would have more than 11k miles on those tires. thats just my opinion and you should be able to get 20k - 30k miles on original tires. i had about 27k before i replaced my first set.
