On both my track & street tires I've noticed that the rear P/S tire is wearing more on the outside of the tire. Plan on taking it in to shop for further investigation but I want your guys input as to what could be causing this to happen.

Can camber be adjusted on the rear, because that is where the problem is?
REAR P/S tire, not front.

Bent axle tube is about the only thing that can cause that. And it's more likely a tow-in issue on that side. Is your tire/wheel centered in the wheel well? Has the car ever been wrecked? Gone off the road? Hit a curb? Anything like that?

Yes, the car has been in an accident, hydroplanned off road & only had front end damage that was repaired.

I've seen it from time to time. It's fairly easy to repair. Unfortunately you'll have to remove the whole rearend to do it, but once it's out it's not a huge deal to fix.
