Default Steer tires balding on the inside.

The inside of my front tires are almost bald and the outside of the tires have decent tread. Have already had two alignments done this year and the only difference is the Jeep pulls a lot less and the steering wheel is now centered. I don't think there's a camber adjustment.

Have you checked your ball joints?

X2 or maybe a bent front axle? Bad control arm bushings? Shocks?

Camber can be adjusted using offset sleeves on the balljoints. But this sounds like something in need of repair to me.
