Some info needed:

Stock suspension I assume?

How many miles on your current tires? Don't think RE050 last 26k miles of aggressive cornering.

How much cornering do you do? Canyon runs? Occasional track time? Or daily commute with some fast curves?

Check your fronts, and take pic if you can, makes it easier to identify the type of wear.

Only time you have that kind of wear is with lots of aggressive driving, so aggressive that OEM camber curve isn't enough, and rolling the tires over, putting lot more pressure on the outside. If that's the case, your fronts will be worse. But that mostly happens up front.

Most likely, your toe and/or camber are off. You should have been provided with a printout of your alignment results, before and after. Even then, some shops (dealership included) may not do it right, or lean on cars to get reading within spec.
