Default Outer edge tire wear?

Just wondering if D4 owners are seeing uniform tire wear or, say, excessive outer edge tire wear?

Tia.

Outer.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. And I'm rather fanatical about tires and tire pressure. Just assumed its from high speed hot rodding around mountain roads - outside the 2 mile U.S. territorial limits of course

No. Conti DW summers on car continuously for last +/- 18 months. That is, not as measured across tread in general, and excluding the minor scrubbing of tire edges typical on any car. Pressures checked/maintained periodically.

Most recent alignment just this week (due to windshield replace) at 25K miles found minor toe adjustment issues both front and rear. If excessive, toe errors will definitely take out edges of tires.
