Default 2012 accord eating tires.

Hello, I have a 2012 accord 4cyl with 47k miles. Bought it with 32k on it. Always had a vibration in steering wheel like the tires were unbalanced. It's been eating the inside of the front tires, mainly the driver side. I've had an alignment done thinking that was the problem. It didn't fix any thing. Bought 2 used tired to replace the front. Still shook and started to eat the inside if those. Rotated the back to the front. The back were the original tires with good life left in them. After 3 weeks, started showing wire on th e inside driver side. I took a 3ft level to the tires to try to check the camber. The passenger side seemed to have the most camber (front and back) But the driver side seemed ok. I realize that a level is not accurate. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix. I Dnt think it's the alignment or the tires. Thanks.

Are the tires feathering?

Problem with checking alignments with the car static is that it may check out fine, but there could be a problem with the suspension when the car is moving. A bent or worn part may not show up unless the suspension is active.

Did you check your camber/alignment with your simulated weight in the driver seat?

I'm not sure if the tires are feathering or not. I just put a used set of tires on today for the mean time, until I figure out issue. And I didn't check alignment with my weight in either.

When jacked up, is there any play with the front wheels?
What's the condition of all of the suspension bushings?
