My front tires are wearing bad on the inside edge, rounding off.
They are Kumho 712 , 255/45/17 on 17x9 wheels. I run about 30lbs air
pressure. Car not lowered. what specificly causes this?

You most likely need an alignment. Take it to a shop

Your alignment is off. Have them rotated and then have your alignment done

buy new tires for the front and get an alignment. Most places will not do an alignment without the new tires.

you either have alinement or balljoint issues. jack the car up and see if there is play in the wheel. if there is repalce the parts. If not go get an alinement.
