Tires worn on the insides - underinflated?
All four of our other car's tires were worn on the inside edge and when I measured the pressures, they were ~5 - 10 psi too low. Would this be the reason for the abnormal wear pattern as well as the poor grip in damp conditions?
The tires are some Nitto NT500 (or similar junk).
Thanks in advance.

I think it's due for a good alignment and properly inflated tires.
Thanks guys!

"The car had some oversteer issues on wet pavement. Would too much camber help or cause that?"
This sounds like too much toe-out on the rear tyres. Incorrect toe has a greater effect on inside-edge wear than camber. Just try it, use -5 degree camber for a couple of months and check tyre-wear. Then try -5 degrees toe-out or toe-in and see what that does to your tyre-edge wear... in just 1-hour even...
