Can you post your alignment reports?

Here is the b/a alignment print out. My service rep said it is normal wear on our cars. He said no way these 55k tires are from the time the car was purchased new as with normal driving they average 20k miles. He showed me a bunch of tire pics on his computer with identical wear. I noticed they were all the same model tire Bridgestone though...
A couple more pics of the rear tires.. Another weird wear - ripped string of tire piece from the middle of the tire etc..

What psi have you been running in those tires? The middle of the tires are DONE, while there is some material left on the outsides. Exactly what model of tire are these?

dmpus,

Could you check the link? It appears to be broken as I do not see anything.

Look like the service rep does not know what they are talking about to me.

I have my car at the alignment shop right now as I'm finally changing my tires from winter back to summer. The other reason is because I hit a pot hole late last year such that it may of knocked the alignment out of spec since one of the front wheels managed to end up with a minor compression point on the inner side of the wheel. Since the car appeared to be driving still not normally, I held off of the re-alignment until I get the tires changed back.

Once I get my report back, I will show it.

You should be able to see it, the pics are embed in here. It shows only little off on the toe and camber but not that drastic numbers

Just found out - it's the site is blocked at work so the pics appears as if they never existed.

I can see them using my phone.

Looking from your alignment, they didn't adjust your sub frame to balance out the cambers. The other the wear in the middle looks does look like a sign of over-inflation. What psi was used?

Notwithstanding the misaligned toe, that wear looks like it's at the transition from the tread to the sidewall - as if, like someone else said, there's something rubbing. Inside wear from misaligned toe is usually confined to the tread on the inside - not the transition.
