1 front tyre wearing on the inside is not just tracking error, you would have an uneven wear pattern on the other front tyre as well, maybe not as pronounced. Simple excessive toe out would be symmetrical wear on both front wheels.
Front wheel drive cars have small toe out angles when correctly set to compensate for suspension wind up under power.
Odd one wheel wear patterns are due to castor, camber and king pin inclination errors usually due to mechanical damage or worn steering joints or defective rubber mountings.
You need a full front end geometry check and inspection for damage/wear not just tracking. Unless you want to be wearing tyres out prematurely.
Most so called experts in my experience couldn't track a unicycle. When we used to prepare race and rally cars with fully adjustable front and back geometry, steering geometry checks would take about 3 hours on a laser jig.
If they can't find any errors, retain the tyre, it could just be defective.
