Default CRAZY wear on my Toyo T1-s after only 6k! And only the rears!!

Anyone seen anything like this before??

I had the car aligned shortly after getting the tires put on (within 1000mi)

However, they may have run low on pressure for a while.. nothing super-low, probbaly around 30psi tho (for a while = about 1-1.5k miles). This was all 4 tires running low pressure tho.

Weird.

This is my right-rear tire:

left-rear:

(it's actually worse that it appears in this pic)

My fronts are perfectly fine...

Check all the pics:

Default Your car is screwed up or tires are defective.

Take it to a good alignment shop and have them check the current alignment.

Default Looks like your toe is off a bit on the rear...

If it were a low pressure problem, both outside edges of the tire would be worn. I'd have it checked right away.
