take it to a specialist wheel alignment shop for the job
have the rear axle alignment checked first because if it is not in alignment with the chassis any front wheel alignment is a waste of money
Alignment is the left - right alignment of the front wheel. If you let go of the steering wheel and the car travels in a straight line it is aligned.
Camber however is the tilt of a wheel and its tire on the axle. Ideally the tire should be perpendicular to the road surface (most amount of tire on the road as possible). However if there is a camber on the wheels, in your case it seems there is one inwards, then the alignment may be correct but the vehicle will be running more on the inside of the tires hence your loosing rubber more on the inside.
Your car needs a Rear Wheel Alignment, the components need to be inspected/checked for wear and then aligned. Worn ball joints, wheel bearings and so forth can cause bad alignment & tire wear.
Also it's hard to get an accurate alignment once a tire is worn on the inside or outside of the tread.
your tie rods are threaded so if you loosen the clamp on the threaded part, the tube can be turned to move the tire 'toe' in or out. You can align your 'toe' this way by using the inside of the tires like a gunsight-the steering wheel needs to be held or locked 'centered' and you loosen the clamp and rotate the sleeve (or tube) so that each wheel's inside sight, fromnt to back, lines up with the inside of the back wheel (best to be slightly toed-in on rear wheel drive cars and slightly toed-out on front drivers. You can do this by sight but it is best after you get it close to have an alignment done.
Yes you can using the tie rod adjustments measure the distance between the inside of the tires in the front and the distance between the inside of the tires in the back, makes these distances exact and precise using adjusters assuming you have no other repairs needed n that would hinder the proper alignment.bushing balljoints etc
