I notice the same thing you are talking about, especially at the rear. With a soft, sporty tire, the Viggen quickly wears down the inside edge of the tires. I run Toyo TS-1 Proxes tires. I find the front tires to wear more evenly across the whole tire surface, but the rear tires are almost exclusively on the inside edges. Not much can be done there since specs says up to -2.0 degrees of camber at the rear.
I find myself every 10-15k kms moving the rears up front. Then, usually at the beginning of the spring, I swap the tires from side to side (actually taken off the rim and rebalanced), therefore wearing down the other inside edge. Seems to be working well so far, as the Toyos were purchased in 2001. I forsee next year will bring a replacement.
