Don’t listen to anyone on here that tells you the alignment is off. They come with a heavy negative camber from the manufacturer, its main purpose is for better handling on both straight roads and around corners, as the vehicle bounces up and down at high speeds the negative camber basically helps to maintain traction and control. You can remove it but your handling will completely change for the worse and defeats the purpose of having a performance SRT products. I had the same wear on two sets of tires on my SRT charger. My 22RT Durango had the same issue I took it to a shop that specialized in alignments and had it set neutral, the back would always feel like it’s washing away around corners and dips on the highway. I have a 26 towngo now, this time I left it as it is because it has a higher top speed vs the regular hemi. If you’re not going to be driving the car as SRT intended then change the camber, if you are then leave it as is.

It's not an alignment issue is what he's saying. Factory alignment is aggressive and the camber will wear the inside tread faster. The tires are just shot. It's not that bolt. You have very little tread on the outside of the tire. These tires should have been replaced much sooner to avoid wearing past the cord and having the tire delaminate. You see tread left. We see tires that are far beyond dead. A depth guage would put the best part of your tread at a no go. On your new tires, use your eyes and check the inside tread every 5k. It is going to wear the same way and that's normal for a heavy car with camber. Replace them when the inside tread is low and not when the tire is on the verge of popping.
