Tire wear question

[SeaNile31]

Just looked at my tires. Fronts seem fine but the rears seem to be wearing on the outer portion of the tire. The inner part of the rear has a lot of meat left whereas the outer seems to have significantly less tread left.

Any thoughts on rear tires wearing like that?

Just checked the pressure after coming back from a ride so the tires/car is still warm.

fronts 235/40 18 reads 35.5 in both
rears 265/40 18 reads 36.5 in both

You should have more wear on the inner part since it's negative camber all around.

You should also check tire pressure before you drive, not after.

You should have even wear on all tires unless you tell your alignment shop you would like to sacrifice treadwear for increased cornering capability.

Tire PSI increases 2lbs. during normal driving so keeping this in mind it is ok to check psi anytime just be sure before reducing psi on a hot tire.
