that is definately alignment problems. notice how the innet side is way more worn out and the outer is hardly used?
that because you have very bad negative camber
im surprised you did not notice? a tire ware that sever, your negative camber should be surprisingly noticable. one way of knowing is if you look streight down from your fender, and all you see is your lower part of your tire and wheel, thats bad camber
is your car lowered? if it is that always creates negative camber, because our camber arms are not able to supper more than an inch drop
if you are looking for really good summer tires, the new falken fk452 are amaizing, i have em on my car

np
i have my car lowered and im in need of a rear camber adjustible arms
most people go for the spc rear and spl front
i guess its the best bang for your buck
but my body shop guy recommended i get stillen
even tho its a little pricey, he said that atleast you have the performance to back up the name
and in the automotive business, you get what you paid for
just a heads up when you decide to lower your car

i was just looking at my car and it dosn't seem like the tires have to much of a negative camber??? could this just be the way the tires wear and these tires have about 35000 to 40000 miles on them

wow, 35-40 thousand miles on the tires?! thats probably about 2 years on those tires!
even if you have little negative camber
over the duration of 2 years with some negative camber will cause that affect, eventually
get a wheel allignment done on your new set and call it a day
