rear tires are nearly bald (center to outer edge) Is this normal???

For it to wear from the center to the outer edge, you would have to running positive camber which is unheard of on these cars (nissan). Toe would not cause this issue. Get an alignment, something is not correct. The other option is that you are over inflated and taking corners pretty fast.

Had the alignment today.
Left rear was -2.4 degrees camber aligned to -1.9 degrees
0.22 degrees toe aligned to 0.17 degrees

right rear was -2.1 degrees camber aligned to -1.8 degrees
0.05 degrees toe aligned to 0.12 degrees

Dealer was very pleasant, had one of their senior mechanics come out and talk to me about issue. He said this is common with this car, get alignment every 12K miles and definitely get harder tires if not going to the track

Ps...front barely needed adjustment
left toe 0.03 to 0.08 degrees

Also, inflation was checked at 34, all tires. I do tend to take entrance and exit ramps fairly quickly, and don't often lose at a stop light

Well I'm lost. You're the first ever nissan here with backwards wear. Congrats.
