front tire inside wear w/ stock suspension...

are any of you besides me and the few that i found on a search having problems with the insides of your front tires wearing quickly and becoming noisy? i called my dealer and they said they never heard of such which i figured thay would say. then i called consumer affairs and all i got was a complaint number (yeah that helps when tires cost $200 each). i did the research and our camber is not adjustable which seems to be the problem.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. At first I thought it was camber, but apparently the toe can cause the feathering.

I believe the toe-in should be 0.03 per side, 0.06 total. Mine was 0.18 on the right front and 0.01 on the left front before the alignment so it was way off. After the alignment no problems. I went to Firestone for the "lifetime" alignment.
