993s are usually set up with some negative camber. Because of this, your tires will wear on the inside first. Tell the alignment shop you are looking for maximum tire life and they should be able to tone down the negative camber.

What front camber spec was used for your alignment? An agressive negative camber will cause inside edge wear with normal street driving. Just having an alignment "done" doesn't mean the car was set to your needs.
