Rear tire wear
Just replaced the rear tires and didn't realize how bad they had gotten. Is this normal uneven wear due to the camber, or is something off? These were the rear tires and the dealer has serviced it twice this year with the last service just 5 months ago where they replaced the fronts. These rear tires had about 30k miles on them.

Do you rotate your tires? I don't ask to be a smartass in any way, just thinking that any decent tire person would have seen such uneven wear and pointed it out.

My 20" runflats are starting to get similar wear. They are nowhere near as bad as yours but I can see them looking like that in 3000-4000 miles. I have 34000 on them right now. All four of mine have excess wear on the inside shoulder. I have rotated every 5000 since new. I'm having mine replaced next week and I'll have them check the camber.
