Rear inner tire wear

I have a 2019 2ss, little over 22,000 miles on it. I don't understand how my rear tires already have wires showing on the inner thread. The only thing the dealership can tell me is that I didn't get a 15000 mile alignment, how can both rear cambers be out that bad from missing a 15000 mile alignment. I searched only and notice this is a issue for some years now. Have anyone had any success with fixing this issue or how?

You need an alignment. Have you ever had one ? Alignments can go out of wack for many reasons and some are bad from the factory.

Ditto on the alignment. 6th gen camaros can be kinda all over the place from the factory. Where and how you drive also play a factor in it, but wear like that is typically a result of higher camber + higher toe at the same time.

A few notes, driving hard and/or track use and stuff like that will definitely wear tires faster. Even without that, the stock tires aren't necessarily that great on life. Other threads I've seen around the forums seem to have people cording the same tires within a similar mileage.

The dealer citing a 15k mile alignment seems like blowing smoke to me, though. I've never seen that called out in any factory service schedule (from the OE, not dealer recommended) and alignments really only will shift a tiny bit as the suspension settles. Alignments can and usually will shift if you hit some rough roads or potholes or severe track dips/curbing, but those are more event based checks rather than mileage.

22K is a pretty fair amount to get off the OE tires but the cords is a little iffy IMHO. They're correct about alignment being needed and quite possibly bad from the factory that got you corded @ 22K.

Discount Tire has a drive-up service where they check pressure and wear. I stop by every month or two so they can checkout things

That is normal for the mileage, no rotation, and the type of alignment. 6th gen Camaros seem to come aligned with Negative camber in the rear that wears the inside shoulder of the tires faster. You can get a alignment that will fix it.
