Always check your tires!

I started noticing that one of the rear tires pressure keeps going down , I thought I had a tiny puncture somewhere till I decided to inspect the tire and was shocked to find out that both rear tires are out of alignment and wearing badly from the inside. Not sure what happened! I have done 7k on those PS4 & tracked them once.

Rear toe out, or too much neg camber ???

Car must have felt unstable at high speed, correct?

Sorry to hear about that, but glad you found the problem.

It looks more like rubbing damage, it's not even part of the contact patch.

not sure, I am planning to take it to the tire shop soon, getting a new PS4 is not easy here due to the COVID19 issue.. most of tire shops I contacted stocks 2017,so far one shop confirmed they got the 2019 ones but they need to confirm price tomorrow.

that looks like rub damage to me! Are those factory tires or bigger aftermarket ones?

It seems to be a tire default... no ?

But on both... strange...
so it seems to be the aligment too pronounced on the interior...
