tire question

i know that our cars are to have some degree of negative camber for handeling according to the alligement shop, but really? the inside of my tires wears so much faster and its starting to get expensive. i had my alligement done last time i got tires and it wasnt that far off but my tires are still wearing the same. is there something wrong with my car? i feel like im replacing tires way too fast because of this. i guess i could have the tires taken off and mounted on the other side of the car, but that seems like a real pita. do you guys have the same problem?
thanks jesse

Are these the front wheels? If so and too much toe-in your outer tire rims could be adversely wearing due to "snowplow" effect.

its all four. as i said though i had an alligement done (at a shop i trust) last summer when i got new tires and i dont drive it in the winter and pay real close attention for pot holes and such. could my alligement be off? should i get it done again? do your tires wear more on the inside?
thanks for any input

It's easy to get knocked out of alignment, especially due to northern early-Spring potholed roads [and poor repairs], even if you're looking out for them. It never hurts to get re-aligned, other than of course the wallet.
