My rears look exactly like urs op, u hav a mechanical diff too? I got worried when my tyre guy pointed out how the inner side had almost worn out but relieved that its not just me experencing the same issue here.
Mine is on kw v3 n an aftermarket diff which keeps the torque down equally to both rear tyres. I assume thats what contributing to the problem.

Ask the distributer if running a wider rim will reduce this inner wear, to me the wear looks like it is concentrated from the outer 2nd band to the inner outside band, in the second picture you can see a dip in the center of the tire where the increased pressure has in effect ballooned out the tire on its circumference and has caused more wear. I still say rim width/size should be increased or tread width reduced. PSS have a wide print so possibly other tires would not give the same wear pattern on your rims.
that wear is perfectly normal. our cars have crazy toe in issues.

op that tire wear looks great. You're driving a performance car not a prius. Usually the centers will wear out alittle more with tire spin, your inflation may have been just a tad higher than necessary but you cant really ask for much better than that. Try taking turns faster if you want more wear on the edges.

There is no Camber and Caster adjustment capability on virtually all Mercedes models to reduce costly, premature inner edge tire wear and increase traction. Also to resolve steering pull and improve steering response along with quicker turn in and reduced dive/lift on brake and acceleration.
K-MAC saw the need and manufacture front and rear kits essential to allow you to return vehicle to factory specs (and have ongoing adjustment) after curb knock damage, altering height, load carrying or fitting wide profile tires.
The patented K-MAC design required no special tools to install. Both front and rear only require a single wrench to precisely adjust/change settings.
