Excessive shoulder wear?

Anyone have any insight into what could cause both the inside and outside shoulders on the front tires to shower a lot of wear. I still have 5/32 tread in the center but the edges are almost bald.

07 g35x, stock(yea I'm lame), hankook ventus V4es. Tire pressure has not been an issue.

Had car aligned after buying it in Feb 2010, tires were even with 8/32 tread.
Noticed outer shoulders wearing this spring, had it aligned in may 2011 thinking it was off, nothing was too far out they made some small adjustments. Got digital readout etc everything looks ok. Dealer warned me last week that the outer edges were wearing and when I checked today both edges are worn (how the eff did they miss that? ). I've put about 20k miles on the tires.

Any insight into this would be appreciated, you guys are usually pretty helpful.

-Regards

Whats the tire pressure. You sure not under-inflated?

Dealer sheet says 34, i will double check in the am.

They thought camber was off but that would only explain 1 edge, maybe camber and toe in off??

Measuring 32, needs a little boost but not dramatically low, and not lower than the back though and the backs are worn very evenly.

No pulling on the highway at 65 mph I can let go of the wheel, but pulls it hard on crowned roads. Any ideas? Bad luck with tires?

If you're using the V12's, I'm on my second set with zero problems.

do you drive aggressively? if so you will wear out the shoulders quicker from all the hard cornering.

Too much negative camber along with a little too much positive toe

^ that's what I was thinking too but he said he's had 2 alignments which makes me wonder...by whom?
I had my X for 4 years, never did one alignment and tire wear was always very even.
