Default Rear wheel wearing quickly

Hi I have a 2000 stype 3.0 and I noticed the inner edge of the tire is wearing very quickly all the way to the cords. It's done it to two tires and I'm guessing it's an alignment problem? The bearing doesn't seem to have any play. I'm gonna take it to the tire shop and I don't want them to try and sell me something I don't need. Any help would be great!

Sounds like too much negative camber.

Search this forum for "Brutal's S-Type alignment specs". Then print them out and take them with you when you go in for your new alignment, and insist that the alignment tech follows Brutal's advice to the letter....
