Odd rear tire wear...anyone else?

When I replace the OEM summer tires at 7K miles with some all seasons, I noticed the tires in the rear where not wearing evenly. The inner tread of each tire had cupping. They were never rotated.


Anyone else have issues with rear tire wear? How often you guys doing a rotation?

But is it from alignment specs of the rear wheels?

I went downstairs to take a pic and I think I may be over reading it. I had not looked at the tires for two months (just got around to posting my question) and am having a hard time telling the rears from the fronts now.


If no one else has noticed odd wear, then I suspect I'm fine. Thanks
