Default front tires wearing weird

I have a stock 2012 xb, 5spd, and wondering I you guys can help me. I have 45,000 miles on the original good years, and for the last 10-15,000 miles, I've noticed my front tires wearing excessively on the very inside edge, like almost where the tread almost starts to wrap around onto the side wall. I keep my tires inflated to the specs inside the door, and rotate them every 5,000 miles, without crossing like the owners manual says to do. All 4 are like this, but weird part is, the rest of the tread isn't feathering or cupping like it usually does she the toe is off, and my camber would have to be really off to wear them like that, I would think i could see it with the naked eye if it were that bad. Drives straight, no pulling. Rest of the tread has about 3-4/32's left, but the very inner edge has nothing left on a couple of them. Is it just normal for these cars to wear like this, or do I need an alignment? Thanks guys

45k on a set of tires is darn good in my book. Time for new tires & an alignment

I figured 45,000 miles is good for a set of the factory good years from what I've read, but wanted to be sure my new tires dont wear out fast because of an alignment issue.

first the specs on the door, might not be the specs for the tires, look on tire, or ask the dealer, for the proper tire specs, when I had new tires put on my Tc, it did not match what the sticker on the door panel.
