Tires wearing out on one side

On my 1997 E320, that I bought used 2 months ago with 151K on it, I have been having problems with it. Problems like the dash not working sometimes, the shocks making noise, transmission jumping when breaking, and a couple of others, but now I have another problem.

When I bought the car, the guy had relatively new cheapo Sunny tires on it and they had no problems with it, other than a nail in one which I had to put a plug in. Now after two months of driving and a bit more than a thousand miles put on the car, the tires are being worn down on one side more than the other.

I have attached pictures showing how the inside (right) of the tire is being worn down more than the outside (left) of the tire. What's the problem?

Not trying to hijack the thread but I am having similar problems. I have been getting some very loud road noise from the front tires. No vibrations, vehicle tracks straight with no pulling to either side. I have H&R springs with Bilstien sport shocks. I changed the lower control arms and ball joints earlier this year and had an alignment done.

The right front edge is wearing(cupping) more than the left. Do you think I need an alignment or camber bolts?
