I have to agree it's an alignment issue. That tire seems to be towed inward. A good alignment shop will know what to do to check it and correct the issue. The only other possible cause could be bent suspension components. Get the alignment checked.

You have a camber issue, You must have hit something like a curb and forced it out of alignment. Unless you recently had any strut or brake work done and they didnt do an alignment aferwards.

Just get a front alignment done and u should be golden

Might just have worn suspension components (i.e. bushings).

If it keeps getting thrown out of alignment, start replacing things. My GEN1 is like eating tires like cup cakes. AS to why I am not fixing it...well....I need to replace a bunch of stuff in the front (CV axles, bushings, struts, lower ball joint, tie arms...)
