yah, camber and toe-in will do that. it's normal on our cars unless your inner treads are wearing super quick vs the rest of the tread. how many miles?

Are you running aftermarket springs/coilovers? You need an alignment if you did. The rear camber is adjustable but only to a certain degree. If you're running aftermarket suspension you may need to purchase different camber links.

Drive faster around corners, it will help to increase outside wear.

yah, these tires are pretty soft so if you do a lot of highway miles the inner treads will wear faster.

take it to your dealer have then lessen the rear toe-in. side effect is your car wont feel as stable during straights but at least you will gain more milage.
