tires unevenly wore out

[yoyo]

Inside edges of the front tires wore out after two years and 50k miles. The alignment angle is attached. Some technicians told me this is the nature of this car.

Any cheap tires to recommand?

Based on my experience you did well to get 50 k miles. My original tires went about 39 k
miles. The replacements are about worn out with 34 k on them. I have had the alignment checked three times. It has usually been within tolerance. Your readings look OK except for the rear left toe.

Than you.
Is this the nature of protege5? Will reducing some angle heal this?

These cars just run way to much toe out. I have had my car since Dec 2002 and found it totally unacceptable that your would get 35k out of tires. I even started flipping mine on the rim to get more miles out of them. Here is what you do. Go to a place that will do an alignment to your specs. They will see that these cars have an amazingly wide allowable toe range. Tell them to pull it to like 1/16th or 1/8th toe out. This will give you much more normal tire wear and predictable steering. You will loose some performance, steering wise, but unless your racing you will not miss it.
