That's toe wear. Take your car in for an alignment ASAP.

Had the same problem....

Got my car used with 30,000kms, orig tires....supposedly...

Notice the inner threads were used up pretty good, and when I parked the car with the wheels cracked to check I noticed this!

In my case, the alignment fixed it, but it could be CAs as well

Also, it could be that they ran with low tire pressure, thus riding on the walls

damn it... My rear right tire RFT is on the way out as well, I just noticed. Is not as bad as yours but I will need one soon. I can barely see the inner lines on tire. Its only the rear right one. fack. Was not planning to spend on a tire right now. I will start shopping around for one, I hate it because rest of tire still about 50% thread left My left rear is good still. I remember I replaced them both a little over a year ago with thread about 80% remaining since i bought them used.
