Yes, I have to agree that you did well with your tires. My original tires were replaced at 25,800 with the same problem, worn on the inside edge of the fronts, right down to the cords! I had cupping issues at around 12,000 and the dealer did an alignment. I think the dealer made it worse. I bought Michelin Pilot Sports and am very happy with them so far, after 9,000 miles. And the noise is gone too. I will not buy Goodyear ever!

WOW! 34k on Goodyear run-flats is OUTSTANDING!!! My OEM Goodyears were shot at about 20k with NO alignment issues. I replaced them with Firestone run-flats and they did not much better but were not as noisy. Then I went to Michelin Pilot All-Weather run flats. They are now over 20k (car has 67k) and are not quite at 1/2 original tread depth - - so I'm very happy with them.

The belts are showing all the way around the inside edge of the front tires. They are ready to seperate, some of you folks might want to check the inside edge of yours.
We should realize ... the OP never indicated whether or not they were Goodyear, or run-flats. There is a chance the tires were replaced at some point in time. We should also remember, alignment issues are not a tire defect. Switching tires or tire brands will not fix the issue if the original problem is not addressed.
