Default Tire Wear

So ive noticed that when i get between 60 mph thru 80 mph im having alot of vibration in the front end. I looked at my tires and the inner and outer of the tire is wearing not the middle. I called around and asked about alignments and a guy told me it sounds like the tires arent balanced correctly or it might be under-inflated or under-inflated. Anyone know why this is happening? Is it my alignment?

Inner and outer wearing at the same time is normally underinflation, not always the case though. Does the car pull to the right or left, especially under hard braking?

Could be out of balance, could be a weak shock. Get the balance done and see if it goes away.

This part isn't an alignment problem.
