What the heck did I do wrong...
New rubber for this year and I don't want to mess up this years rears like I did last years. 275/30/19 and here is what they looked like:
As you can see the middle and inside wore similar but outside looks like it never touched the ground...I had an alignment check done before these were put on and everything was withing spec. The car was even towed out a bit to increase the tire life. So what's wrong? Lots of guys say run 42 in the rear and that's what I did. To me this look like too much tire pressure. What do you guys think?

Fist off, it looks like you put about 5,000 miles too many on them lol. Sheesh I hope you never got caught in the rain or snow with this set.
Hard to say went wrong really. Tire pressure could have been the culprit, but the outer edge doesn't look "untouched" per say, it def had a little less contact over there though.

Looks like slight over inflation with normal negative camber wear (inner side wears more then outer)
What were your pressures at?

lol ya I know...but since winter was coming I said screw it. No rain or snow...it hardly rains here when summer is on full blast. Winter hit and I was already driving my subaru.

Don't remember the exact #'s the alignment shop said since it was a year ago but he said everything, tow, camber and caster was all in spec.

This look totally normal to me, don't think too much about our rear tire wear.. Go out have fun doing more donuts. J/k lol

No hardly ever. I hate people in my car. The only thing I would carry was my hockey goalie gear but that stuff only weighs like 50lbs.

Maybe I should run 40 for this year so that at least the other side touches lol.

They actually don't look too bad, quite even use except on the outside, which is normal if you don't corner like crazy. New cars always have this setup so you get more grip in the corners.
Check this video to see how F1s are set up and how even it gets during cornering:
Don't let your tires get that bold though... It can be dangerous!

Then the inside edge would wear out quite a bit faster.

Over inflation and tire on a rim that is not wide enough or too large of a tire on stock rim.
42 PSI is for a fully loaded car driven at highway speed. Also when rapid acceleration is used, everytime this is done the car squats down the camber on the wheels change, similar to the guys running lowered suspension without adjusters.

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.
