Nonsense,what you've got there is the natural action due to the negative camber & the body roll. Look at what the left front is doing. It's flat to the road, which is what you want, maximum contact patch. What the inside front is doing doesn't matter.
The way to see if you've got too much air pressure is all down to temperature. Get out at the top on the road into the pit, & stick you're hand on the tyres.The temperature should be uniform all the way across. If it's hotter in the middle, you've got too much, if it's hotter on the edges, not enough. If it's uniform, but not terribly high, drop it a pound or two, & measure it again. Just remember to watch out for the next car & don't annoy Helen Burden at the timing table, cause Helen's not somebody you want to be on the bad side of.
Wear on the rear tyres can be used as well, if its wearing out the centres, drop the pressures, if it's wearing the edges, raise it.

yeah the second coment is how i could tell. its running on the centre of the tyres around 30 cm in from the edge. but it was the first meeting on the tyres and ive never ran on advan 048rs before so we just put 28psi in them and droped them down 1 or 2 psi depending on how much the pressure rose.
what pressures do you guys run in your advans?

this one shows the angle of the road a bit better and it also shows that i have too much pressure in my tyres
