Have owned several sports cars and never had the rear tires wear so poorly.
Recommendations on tires?

Yes, tires wearing out on a car is completely normal.

Left rear was -2.4 degrees camber aligned to -1.9 degrees
0.22 degrees toe aligned to 0.17 degrees

right rear was -2.1 degrees camber aligned to -1.8 degrees
0.05 degrees toe aligned to 0.12 degrees

Dealer was very pleasant, had one of their senior mechanics come out and talk to me about issue. He said this is common with this car, get alignment every 12K miles and definitely get harder tires if not going to the track

Ps...front barely needed adjustment
left toe 0.03 to 0.08 degrees


Well I'm lost. You're the first ever nissan here with backwards wear. Congrats.

I had the same wear pattern on my 11 with sport 19s too.
When I had new tires put on the suspension was at -1.8 and -1.7 degrees camber with .10 degrees toe on the rear tires.
Not really complaining though as I got about 17k on the stock rears which ain't bad for 140 treadwear. It just made me wonder how much traction I wasn't getting since the real meat of the tire wasn't making good contact with the road. Once those puppies wore down about 70% there really wasn't much traction left and vdc got really active.
