Not over-inflated, and it's only the inside edge, all four tires. Outside edge is totally fine, and tread depth is entirely consistent inside to the edge. So yeah, it most certainly is camber wear, thanks anyway.

But that's not the point. I was trying to work through how worried I should be about it for another few thousand miles. Probably 1-2k for the rears, and potentially another 4-5k for the fronts.

They're Pilot Super Sports. They don't have much siping in the middle section on the tire. It looks like all the siping was worn away but there wasn't any to begin with. Optical illusion!

Definitely not over inflation... They would have worn much more unevenly (center wear). These are perfect other than the slight camber wear and Michelins are temperamental about that due to soft compound...

Too rich for my blood. I need a bit more bang for my buck, but they definitely ride nice

In light of getting some new tires I wanted to see if I could find a reason for this wear or at least eliminate if it is a mechanical issue. I ordered some SPL rear traction arms and was going to set up my dial indicator to measure if maybe some crazy toe in is happening on compression and rebound then see if it can be dialed out. I will get back with the results after the weekend.

Update

I ran the rears until July, then replaced them with Conti's.

And just this weekend, I had to put my duckfeet & snows back on the car, about two months too early. Discovered some dangerous wear on the front passenger tire.

I consider myself pretty lucky these never blew out before discovering how bad they were.
