Uneven rear tire wear

yah, agree on outside wear being irregular, but dont agree it should last that long anyway.

I'm getting what looks like more wear on the outside. Not 100% sure though. It looks like the outer most groove may be a little shallower than the rest by one or two millimeters. It'll look like the old Yokohama A008 by the time I'm done with it. I figured it might be suspension flex while cornering. 23k miles so far and hope to make it through the summer before putting some RE-11s on. I'm not complaining, the tires are lasting about twice as long as I thought they would. Mostly highway miles.

I also have more wear in the outside, so "normal" seems to be a f'ked up factory setting.
