Question Tyre question

This might be a boring old question to a lot of you, but I'm fairly new to 911 ownership. My front tyres are in need of replacement, and it looks like they have worn more on the inside of the tread. Is this correct? It looks like the innermost 2 inches of the tyres have taken a real beating, while the outside edge still has plenty of life. The handling sometimes feels a bit twitchy in the middle of corners (a kind of oscillation through the steering wheel), but it's nice and planted on the straights.
Any advice much appreciated.

Do an archive search on camber. Unless you can swap your tires from side to side to even out the wear, replace them and have an alignment done.

Thanks Bill, I do want an alignment job done soon, but also wanted to see if other members regularly get inner front tyre wear and whether I should expect this even with the alignment fixed.
