Abnormal tire wear?

Volcom370Z · 06-26-2010, 12:00 AM

I'm somewhat new to RWD cars so please bear with me. I JUST passed 10000 miles today (I know, sad day) and I've been noticing a weird wear pattern on my rear tires (still running stock tires). The outsides seem to be wearing faster than the inside. I can tell visually that the rears have negative camber (which I'm assuming is normal) so I'm kind of stumped as to how the outsides are wearing prematurely. I know if the toe was off combined with the camber, there would be some feathering on the inside right? I'm a little confused. Also, I've had bad luck with alignment shops knowing all the geometry involved in alignments, so I'm looking for a bit of education.

Thanks guys (and girls)
