All greetings!I have a ML500 W 164.
I installed the new Pirelli tires.
Wheel alignment done fig.1
After 15000 miles worn inside front tire,
but the alignment is normal Fig.2.
Why might this happen? Sorry for my English I'm from Ukraine.

Certain types of tire wear may not be caused by alignment issues. It may also be caused by suspension wear issues. In this case, I suspect your bushings are worn. When the car is at rest with no outside forces, the car would read within spec, but when your actually driving, turning and braking, it would cause the suspension to sag and be out of spec most of the time. You might also want to check your struts/shocks. How many miles do you have on your ML?

Looks like the tires' inflation are too low, which cause both outside and inside tread wear faster than the center. BTW, make sure to rotate all tires every 5000m (8000km).
Yup, your control arm bushings and ball joints. Also check your strut mounts and struts. And you might want to replace the springs. The struts themselves should be replaced, but if your not getting any tire cupping, then you might be able to hold off a bit for those.
Unfortunately Tire rotation is not possible to make,because different size tires.

l thought this couldn't be done...because you have 4matic(all-wheel drive)..l may be wrong...but l'm pretty sure..this should not be done !!!!!
