Both of the outer edges of the front tyres were wear out, tyres pressure is alright and the car movement is terrible on uneven surface.
here's the pic on the outer edge,
here's the pic on the inner edge,
Ps: It will make tyres squeeking sound (like tyres breaing hard) when turning on small roundabout.
If anyone have any idea please share!
Cheers!

I think tracking issues often cause uneven wear on tyres, have you had it checked recently?

Yeah, defo get the tracking checked and also your tyre pressure, low pressure can cause uneven wear. Get the camber checked too just incase
Edited to add: Sorry didn't notice the bit about saying the pressure was ok!!!

Incorrect toe-out would cause inner edge wear
Incorrect toe-in would cause outer edge wear
Of course incorrect camber also causes excessive edge wear

Alright, might go to national tyre centre for alignment. I changed both of my front shocks few month ago, will this affect my alignment?
One more thing want to ask is do 206 camber adjustable?
Many thz!

I think there is a bit of adjustability in camber,
but only slightly, to allow for slight tweaks/corrections to the camber angle.
Not 100% on this though.

You should always recheck the tracking if you change front suspension. As you have both front tyres burning off then it's almost certainly a tracking fault

When I worked at Kwik-sh** if we changed front shox wheel alignment check/adjust was included in the price

Make sure you have new tyres on before the tracking is checked, otherwise it's still going to be out.
If you can't afford the tyres yet, put the rear ones on the front just so that the car sits evenly.

Replace the tyres if they're illegal (obviously), but you don't need new tyres before you can have the tracking done 
Swapping tyres round might spread the wear out, but will only mean you'll need 4 tyres not 2 & won't change how 'the car sits evenly'.
Just get the tracking done asap.

All sorted! 2 tyres replaced and have the tracking done in national tyres. Handling now is much much more better and according to the guy my front wheels got too much toe in.
