Default Is this normal tread wear? - Conti DWS

Hello all!

New owner here and I wanted to check with more familiar owners with tread wear. I'm used to the rate and pattern at which the S2000s wear through tires but not so much with the Z. I purchased the car two weeks ago with Continental DWS (car was from Illinois) front and rear. The fronts are fine but the rears... thats another matter.... the car only has 17000 miles on it so I cannot attest to when the RE050As were removed but again it would have had to have been less that 17,000 and then these installed. What concerns me the most is I can still see the "D" and "W" wear markers clearly but the insides are showing threads. I have ordered a complete set of S-04s to be installed tomorrow (265/35 & 285/35 based on forum recommendations) but for those of you more familiar... is this normal or is there a toe/camber/inflation issue going on that I am not aware of?

Thanks in advanced!
