Why are my front tires wearing unevenly on the inside? Should I be concerned with another problem that's not apparent?

Sounds like you need a front end alignment.

Tim- Any time you have tire wear issues, pics are a wealth of info.
No guesswork involved. Learned here, on MySt. Good Luck.

Yes -- you need an alignment.

Wear on the inside of a tire usually indicates alignment issue. "Cupping" of a tire usually indicates a shock problem. Wear on both edges indicates routinely low tire pressure. Wear in the middle of a tire indicates routinely high tire pressure.

My ST is wearing its front tires on the inside as well. It goes in Wed. for new front tires & alignment. I can't complain, since this is the first alignment it has needed in about 130k miles.
Next up: front brakes (2nd time). Then new front tires & brakes on the Lightning. It's going to be an expensive summer!
