Worn inner tire

[Jmana]

I just bought a used 2019 long-range all-wheel drive model 3 with 52,000 mi on it. I had looked at the tires but apparently didn't look that closely at them. They all appeared to have pretty much brand new tread but today I looked closer at the driver's side front tire and it is almost balled on the inside. I did notice when I was driving it that it sounded a bit loud and I'm almost thinking it has a bad wheel bearing. Are there any other parts that could cause this kind of tire wear?

Generally inner tire wear is caused from to much negative camber, have the alignment checked.

Had inner wear and cupping on my fronts with excessive noise. Put them on the rear and had an alignment. Front toe was out. Cupping wore off on the rear and is now much more quiet.

This is not true. Inner tire wear would be caused by toe misalignment, not camber.

Pretty common.

I do have Model 3 AWD inner tire is worn, alignment is recommended after every 6000 miles.
