Something new and fun...
ok so does everyone remember just a few months ago i was asking about tires for the rear of my 95 z28,,, than i posted a pic of the ones i bought,,, these ones
well this is what they look like now,,
2 months and 3 weeks later,,, mind you i only did 2 small burnouts and only put about 3,000 miles on them..
passenger
driver
i think there's something wrong with the rear end,,, going to make an appointment tomorrow for an alignment...

check all your suspension especially if you have adjustable... that's not even close to normal on crap tires

I’m curious to know why the outside is wearing so much different than the inside being that it’s a solid axel and not independent

its very possible that it is bent,,, this is the car it came off of,,,
i took it off and took it to a guy that specializes in rear ends to make sure it was straight,, he did some work to it, put a new axle and bearings, and the 3:73's and $450 later he said it was good,,,

it looks like your top to bottom alignment (camber or caster, I can never remember which it is) is way off. is your car sitting lower than stock? get some LCA relocation brackets to correct alignment when lowered.
