How many miles on them and the suspension? Pressure seems low.

That’s cold pressure. If anything, consistent low pressure would cause more wear on the outside and less in the middle. Sway bars have been on for 30k and these tires have about 25,000 miles on them.

25K miles, you must be a wizard. I never got more than 15K out of my rear Michelins. They always wore on the inside too. I am a stickler for psi being as close to door card recommended psi as humanly possible, without going all OCD about it.
The rear camber is negative intentionally, but inner edge wear is the payment for the greater stability. The alignment guy I talked to said that you don't want to dial the negative camber out of this car or handling will start to get squirrely. He took a teensy tad out of my rear camber, but according to what he had said left some in.

pressure is a little low, but after 25K, they actually look pretty good.

Lol, wizard. This is good info. TBH I don't know actual mileage on the tires and might be overly optimistic with 25k. Probably closer to 20. I'd need to call discount tire to verify. I just know they need to be replaced soon.
Can you share your camber settings?
My shop says I rolled in at -1.8 and they took it to -1.1
Looking for feedback from anyone on this too.

I don't have the numbers. It was a year and a half ago. Your numbers fit my remembery. The guy said he took over half a degree out but left some camber in and said also that he would advise to not take any more camber out.
You will find all the suspension settings here

Yeah, plus/minus half a degree on camber, keeps the rear camber negative, as per what the alignment guy told me.
Looks like the 18" wheels in the rear are given a bit more negative camber than the 19" wheels are. I wonder why? And who got 17" wheels? I've never heard of any 17" OEM on the Stinger.

Increase to 38 front / 36 rear. Running 6-8psi low probably isn't a deal breaker, but it is putting more heat into them, which may add up over tens of thousands of miles.

Taller sidewalls means more tire compliance. In laymen's terms... The tire has more give and can conform to road surface better, even with moderate static camber angles. Conversely, the lower profile the tire is, the less the tire compliance. Also, folks that love to fit "the widest tires that can fit my car" worsens this, because the wider the tire, the more the camber angle will change the pressure distribution across the tire contact patch. You can get an exaggerated sense of this when looking at any of those "stance" cars. I think most would agree that's just retarded looking. But for those who love super wide tires on super wide rims, just for the "aggressive" look, and they don't pay attention to their alignment settings, yeah... It's pretty much the same thing.
This is why some of us prefer 18s on this platform. I don't much care to look aggressive (not really sure what that even means anyway). I like it when my setup looks "purposeful"... Whatever works right looks right, not the other around.

That wheel on the left must be for other markets than N. American. We never got that design. Likewise, I never saw the second one from the right.
I never saw this catalogue. Mine is different - and it doesn't include Stelvio Pass either. Ha hah.
It also has "Lake Stone (L5S)" which looks like a lighter version of Ascot Green.

That is an interesting point. Ima pretty sure that US "Indigo" is the same thing as "Deep Chroma Blue" elsewhere. Maybe Lake Stone became "Ascot Green" in the US.
