inside edge tire wear?

Howdy all.

Why is the inside edge of my front tires wearing much more than the outside
edges on my Neon?

Here's the lowdown on the setup.  Toyo RA1 225/50-14's up front on 14x6"
AR24s at 38-39 psi.  1.8 degrees negative camber and about 3/16" total toe
out.

I figured that as badly as I overdrive the corners and push all the way
through them that the outside edges would be wearing out first.

Am I just spinning the inside tires so much coming out of the corners that
I'm wearing them down first?

What gives?

Thanks in advance.

See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
