When we acquired our 2014, the inner edges of the front tires wore to the cords after 20,000 miles. We pointed this out to the alignment technician, who set the alignment to minimize this. (negative camber can aid ultimate handling). The alignment 'guy' followed our direction, and now the difference in tread depth inboard>outboard after another 20,000 miles is negligible. We do not track our F.

In fairness, I should mention that we replaced the original 200-treadwear P-Zeros with 500-rated UHP all weather 'shoes'. But as I said, I have monitored how they are wearing, with a tread-depth gauge at yearly oil changes.

Oh thank you 🙏. But I need to understand clearly , is this thing normal , and I just need to change tyres on new ones , or it’s a suspension problem ? Cause I have tyres for winter, and I want to use summer tyres for summer use .

Tyres/tires should be new for the most accurate alignment. If they are the same sizes, it should not matter if you have SUMMER or WINTER tires.

A GOOD alignment shop should be knowledgeable enough to set the adjustments within the specifications to achieve your goals. NOTE that some cars are spec'd for handling, and that might reduce the life of tires anyway...I'm thinking of the Lotus Elise, that needs new rear tires every other oil change.
You could patronize a race shop for your alignment, that knows what changes result in desired goals.

Some characteristics (like when you said the 'wheel's camber is at maximum value') might require replacing parts to change...
