Most likely your camber is out, meaning that wheel is leaning in too far. Have you ever had it checked?

Inside tyre wear is generally caused by incorrect camber. Worn wishbones affect camber badly.  So, check wishbones for wear in all bushes (two per wishbone), correct if needed, then get a FULL geometry setup done .. Wheels in Motion are probably the best for Omegas and give a discount for forum members.

Hi I had the problem on the drivers side. It turned out that it was the wishbone. Replaced it and got it retracked all great now.

Good news, but just to add, it's advisable to change suspension parts in pairs...
