Mustangs come with some negative camber in the rear. If you look, you actually can see it pretty well. That, combined with primarily straight line driving (e.g., highway), and you got yourself a situation for tire wear towards the inside of the rear tires.

Say that three times real fast, LOL!

Eehhh, not entirely. It’s the toe. Camber is significantly more forgiving than toe. And for the rear, toe would need to be out pretty bad to wear the inside like a front might. Here’s a 325/30 rear with close to 20K miles on it. Zero inside wear. This is -1.5° camber and a little less than stock toe.

Do you know your alignment settings? If it hasn't been aligned since it came from the factory - the factory settings have been known to be all jacked up sometimes. "In the green" is not good enough. This car also seems to be sensitive for some reason about certain tires. Toe settings being off will lead to uneven tire wear the most. Sounds like you may need a good alignment shop.

Oh yeah! Then you definitely need to check it out. I've seen some bad ones posted on here lol. If you are just doing street driving mostly and not trying to corner super hard, something like this would probably suit you:

-1.3, -1.0 degrees negative camber (front/rear)
You could maybe go a couple tenths more negative in the rear also maybe. But you want at least -1 for driving on the street imo for cornering at even a decent speed.

0.00-0.10 degrees front toe total angle (make even side to side)

0.10-0.12 degrees per side (0.20-0.24 total) rear toe (again make even).

Thrust angle: 0.00! Stress this to the alignment tech. You want this to be zero.

My advice: go to a shop that aligns Mustangs and knows especially how you adjust the rear camber. You can! Some techs who don't know how to do it and claim that you can't adjust it. Also, because it is a PITA. But there is a slot in the subframe for the camber arm.

Remember, "in the green" is not good enough. Don't go to a Ford dealer. They suck. Make them adjust it properly and get the alignment settings even from side to side. A great alignment will make your car handle and perform much better.
