Angry Lil Help new Coupe Inner Tire wear!

Ok so i just got an 06 coupe 57k miles and it is making a horrible huming sound and vibration from the Front end, whenever im over 20mph loudest at 40mph and below. I first thought it was the brake so i took it in and the brakes are good and the guy showed me that my tires had inner uneven wear. So i took it for an alignment today and i see no improvement. Wat could be causing this? I think i might need a front camber kit... but not sure and dont want to spend money not knowing if this will fix my problem. Anyone out there that had this problem and got it fix any tips would be greatly appreciated thx in advance.
I did search googled found similar problems but not an answer.

Lemme guess, you are still running the Bridgestone RE050s? They are loud when they are worn, and at the exact speeds you describe. Solution - replace the tires. Also coupes are notorious for cambering the front tires, even at stock ride height.

^+11111. yea its most definitely the tires. I had camber wear when I didn't lower my car yet as well. You can either bear with it to get the most outta your tires or change them to better ones. Many go with falken 452 best bang for the buck!

If your tires are fooked up, getting the correct alignment wont magically fix them.

Mine was the same way, except with the noise was vibration. New tires ftw!

^ Depending on your drop you might need a camber kit but if your still on oem height then you should just be fine changing the tires.

Since it's the tires making that ROOAAAAAAR getting alignment won't change the noise you're enjoying. Isn't that noise a PIA, you can't turn the tunes up high enough to hide it....solution replace the tires.
