Now if you'd said that it was the outer edges of both front tires wearing
out then I could-a shared that I had the same problem, too, which turned
out to be excessive toe-in, which was scrubbing the rubber off the tires
at an alarming rate. But with inside and outside edges being scrubbed,
well, there's someone here that knows that that might be.

Wheel alignment is a dark and mysterious subject to me.
