Michelin PSS tire issue
Noticed this on my front driver inner tire. Car is on stock alignment. I am using OE size. Over all doesn't seem like there is a lot of inner wear but I guess it doesn't show on PSS.
Tires have 24000 miles. Wear seems equal with the rears except this issue.
My original pzeros fronts were still good when I bought the Michelin's but rear were shot.
I know Michelin had a tread life warranty so maybe they will pro rate me.

I seriously doubt you will get any form of warranty anything from Michelin. That looks like the result of a bad alignment most likely excessive toe out.
Running on stock alignment is of no consequence. Even at stock settings, you should have your alignment checked periodically. Especially right after buying tires.

other side doesnt have any cord showing, there is some wear but nothing that appears to be drastic toe in or camber to be excessive....as u know , just whe looking at the cars, the rears look to be camber in more than fronts
i still have my 18000 mile front p0s in the shed, i might just switch those on for a few 1000 miles uip front before i need to change all four out again

Its the way the font camber is set up on the E63. It helps to run about 45psi air in front tires.

if it was even wear and after 20k miles then ok fine
but the entire tire sans the shoulder is fine...shoulder worn down...yes I will have alignment checked
unfortunately I have no choice but to get new up front due to cords
though I suppose I could have alignment fixed and take pressure off the inner shoulder and then still use the tires...

At this point any alignment may be beneficial for tire wear. 24,000 miles isn’t awful ( the Porsche 911 turbos I have eat rear tires in 8 to 9000 miles at best) but you could get many more miles from those tires. Maybe find a tire shop that installs and aligns all in one?

I only have my dealer align my Mercedes cars. I found I just waste money getting an alignment anywhere else.

Do point out on all W205 models that the often quoted, reassuring "FULL FRONT AND REAR ALIGNMENT" even the most accurate - is only basic Toe "directional' adjustment
There is no front Camber and Caster or rear Camber facility essential to adjust tire contact angles - spread load more evenly. We saw the need therefor to reinstate once again from the early 90's full, precise adjustment.
