dhile they did your alignment and camber...what was their setting??
i'm afraid too much toe or +ve camber did this to your tyre

Agree with this!
Too much toe-in will eat up your outerside faster while too much toe-out will eat up the inner side faster. Toe should be close to 0.
Positive camber ( tires from the front looks like this: \ / ) will also do this. Have to align just a slight negative camber (about -0.5 to -1 for normal daily driving), but if you like to corner fast then can setup -1 to -1.5 but may eat up the inner side faster (going fast in corners will wear the outer side more too hence need to counter with more negative camber).

OK ..its time to change...just feel sayang abit coz the inner tread still very ok..China brand..ok o not..actually i'm looking for something 300 - 400 / pcs..i did travel occasionally with my family so i can't compromise on safety for sure..

Yeah, better not buy China brands yet, with that budget there are plenty of good choices. If you want to save a bit, can try GT Radial Champiro, those are good value for money, offering pretty good performance at cheaper prices compared to well know brands like Michelin, BS, BY, Yokohama, Dunlop, Toyo, Continental, etc2.
But make sure you fix your alignment or else you'll have the same problem again like now.

...
Tyres last 2 years? I haven't had tyres last more than 1 year in the past 8 years.

That means either you drive a lot, you drive hard, and/or you use very soft grippy tires.
I had tires lasted >4yrs before! biggrin.gif
