Toe out of spec?
I too thought I had outside tire wear, but upon closer inspection, it's actually the inside that has worn more. The tread near the channel closest to the outer edge of the tire will appear more worn than the tread surrounding the three inner channels; on each of my tires, mine is almost completely worn down in this area, but I have a bit of tread remaining above the wear bars in the three inner channels. This outermost channel does not have a wear bar and should not be used to gauge tread depth.

If you are able to see the very inner edge of your tires, then you may see excessive wear in that area. I didn't realize this until I had the wheels off the car and looked closely at the tires.
