Check your tire pressure and it does not hurt to take it in and have the alignment checked. Also, you should be rotating every 5K miles. This evens out the wear. I have 13K miles and no unusual wear pattern.

Is the wear only on the inside, or does the outside have about the same wear? If it's even on both sides it could just be normal wear due to scrubbing the tires when turning the wheels, and if it seems excessive, you probably need to check the pressures.

 

If the wear is only on the inside of the tires, I'd say you need some adjustments....alignment should be covered under warranty. If it's inner tire wear in the front, then you either have the toe out set too wide or extreme negative camber, or both.

 

EDIT: Almost forgot.. Lack of rotation will cause premature tire wear also.

I thought the same thing with the wife's truck. Had it aligned and checked several times and it always comes back as good. Keep up on the tire rotation, I have found that to even it out better.
