Exclamation Is this Uneven Tire Wear? **PICS**

The tires in this picture are from my 2002 SC430, they have been on the SC430 for at least 13,000 miles, and probably more. I've read all about uneven tire wear problems on the early SC430 models, and I am wondering if I have the problem. I have not had any alignment done on the car because of what I've read on this forum, and the car was dealer serviced since new by the previous owner.

Please see the pics and let me know your thoughts.

Looks fairly normal to me... for an SC.

Front's wear on the outside edges, Rear's wear in the middle.

Can't tell depth from photo's, so can't comment on wear rate or how much life is left in them.

Looks good to me...no signs of camber wear which is a very good thing.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I plan on not doing any alignment any time soon since it could only get worse, no better

why don't you measure the tread depth across the tyre?

that is the inner, middle and outer thread depth.
