I've had my new LR3 for a few days now and love it so far. In the normal ride height the tires sit fine on the ground. However, I lowered the vehicle a couple times lately and noticed that when I do this the rear wheels tow in quite bad. I then raised the suspension back to normal height and noticed it still slightly so I checked it with a level and even at normal ride height they are still towed in! Has anyone else experienced this? I am worried about tire wear, I don't know if it will harm the tires if the vehicle is just parked and the wheels are towed in (although it looks stupid). But I am worried that if they are towed slightly while driving they will wear the insides. I have read a couple articles that people have experienced this. Any feedback would be great!

If you think there is an issue with alignment, have your dealer check it... but for "access" height, it's normal for the tires to appear like that.

And check it quickly...my dealer said they won't cover the adjustment if it has too many miles (can't remember 5k or 10k). There are a lot of topics here about the negative camber setting from the factory and yes, the insides of a lot of tires are worn. When in low mode it will be worse, that's just geometry.
