2018 Ecoboost, 20" rims with 285-35 rear tires (10" rim) and 255-35 front (8.5" rim)

sons car is getting some pretty extreme wear on the inside edge of the tires... he came home from school and I noticed his tires had actually worn thru the belts, I'm very surprised he didn't have a blowout or something to be honest. tires are wearing unevenly front and rear (mostly front tho)... car has about 55k on the clock, generally drives very well, I dont feel like there is an issue with blown shocks or anything at this point.... tires are nitto 555 G2's about 2.5yrs old, guessing about 15-20k on them... his current alignment is OEM spec

anyone have some recommended fixes for the wear on this?? to much toe? to much camber?

TIA!!

front toe needs to be ~0. and I would suggest the next set of front tires be 235 wide.
his current alignment is OEM spec
you know this how? Was it on a rack within the last 6-9 months?

then i should clarify... last time it was set was to OEM spec...

replacement tires are already here, just waiting for an alignment to get them installed.

needs alignment or bushings and set toe to 0.

I’ve got 12,000 miles on a set of PSS with 0 toe and -1.6 camber and it’s just chewing the rear tires up beautifully evenly.

I like a little bit of toe in for street driving about .05 degree each side for a total of .1 in front. This helps stop tramlining in my experience.

I like .1 toe in each side in the rear for a total of .2. This aids in stability
