Default Tire Balding

I cant remember which way means what. I have lost alot of thread on my front tires towards the inside of the car. And the middle and outside of the car is perfect, like new tires. What could cause this? To much air or to less air maybe?

Was it to much air, more wear on the outside of the tire, or inside? Thanks.

An incorrect toe setting coupled with bad camber can also cause the front tires to wear down towards the inside also.

an incorrect toe will kill the inside of the tires much worse than negative camber. the situation you are describing is indicative of toe probs not camber probs

Just had an alignment - same prob (inside edge wear) - TOE was the culprit.

Sounds like that might be it, cause i just had these tires for less then 3 months and it was only daily driving. How exactly could i fix a incorrect toe setting?
