tire wear problem
i was wondering if anyone might be able to give me any insight into what might be causing both of my front tires to wear faster on the inside than the rest of the tire(s). any info would be helpful.

When an inner rib wears faster than than the rest of the tire, the need for wheel alignment is indicated. There is excessive camber causing the wheel to lean too much to the outside and putting too much load on the inside of the tire. Generally this calls for an alignment, as Mike stated, but misalignment could be due to sagging springs, worn ball joints, or worn control arm bushings as well.
