unusual rear tire wear 2004 cl600

okay, maybe somone can help. 2004 cl600 with staggered stock 18" wheels and tires. i've had the car aligned on 3 different occasions over the past 1 1/2 years. the car is pretty much in specs and has 1 adjustment bolt in the front. front tires are wearing evenly. rear tires have always worne faster on the outside tread on both rear tires. i am running michellin 101y 265 40 18's on the rear which is stock. is there anyway to get the rear tires to wear evenly, or is this attributable the stance of the car, or the attributes of the tires. i've spoken to the alignment specialist and was told that that is just the way the car rides. i drive in the high suspension setting and had the car aligned in the same high setting. my rear alignment was rear left camber -1.1, toe 0.15. rear right camber
-0.9, toe 0.26. rear total toe 0.41, thrust angle -0.06.
do these check out. is there any adjustments you would recommend? would adjustment bolts help? the tech says this shouldn't cause wear and it's the best settings he can get.
what's your thoughts. i would say the outside of the tires are wearing about 15% faster than the rest of the tire and the wear is even with no cupping. the tires are michelin pilot sports ps1 101y's
