You need to adjust your camber and your toe when you get the elignment doen id you are set toe-in (which is factory setting) You will excelerate any inside tire wear and vice versa with toe-out. If you have the double adjustable caster/camber plates put as much castor in it as the plates will allow and set you toe to the furthest factory tolerance and your camber to as close to 0 as you can.

I have a track car set up with 5 degrees of castor -6 degrees of camber and 2.5 degrees toe-out and with that much toe out the tires actually wear even (i only get a weekend on them though know anybody that sells cheap Hoosier R3S03's ) Having that much castor let's the front end be stable at high speeds with that much toe-out.
