Is this tire wear normal?

My car has 30k miles, and ive gone through 3 sets of tires......

My front tires always seem to wear out the most on the inner side, they round off and start to show white threading. I have had my car aligned i dont know how many times, and i just cant seem to get proper mileage on my tires. Im taking in to the dealer next week to complain and see what they can do, because this is just ridiculous.

Id appreciate some feedback, maybe i can get some suggestions on what to say.

Id really like to get this resolved, cause im planning on getting 20's with new tires soon, and dont want this to keep happening with my new wheels

Its tire feathering, and while not "normal" its a pretty common occurance on our G's. What are your alignment settings?

i am not sure what the alignment specs are exactly, but it doesnt really matter now since my last alignment was like 3-4 months ago

well its hard to pinpoint your problem if we don't know what they set your alignment to. Many shops are sloppy and just get them into the very wide OEM specs rather than setting them to their optimal values

tire feathering is a common problem on the G. if i am not mistaken, it used to be an issue on the Z but enough people complained to the point that they fixed it.
