Trouble is, especially with low-profile tires, it causes a lot of inside wear. Those tires look pretty well-used - what kind of car are you driving and have you had it aligned toe-out for track use?
same thing i was thinking. also if your tire is to wide or needs to be wider it puts stress on that spot. first thing i would do is look up to see if others are having the same problem witht he tire. quick search on the web and of the name of the tire will bring some results fast if it is a common thing
