Default Odd Tire Wear?

I have a 2015 C2S with 15k miles on it. My first set of tires I only got 6500 miles out of the rears before they were toast. No track days, but some fairly aggressive canyon runs. I had an alignment done when I got the second set installed. I've gotten more mileage out of this pair, but today I noticed the outside edge of the passenger side tire is wearing much faster, and looks it will need to be replaced soon despite there a being a little more room on the rest of the tread. The driver side rear appears to being wearing very evenly. My tires on other 911's have always seem to wear on the inside more, what would be causing the quicker wear on the outside of the passenger side?

Your alignment is out again, or was never right the last go-around.

with your next alignment, "within spec" is not always a good thing. you want even values on both sides. so one side at the upper limit and the other at the lower limit is "in spec", but would not be an alignment I would accept....

If you went to dealer, shame on them. If an independent....I would not be too surprised.

It was my dealer which makes me a little upset. Usually when i've had cars aligned in the past at dealers they include the printout that shows all the alignment info. I didn't get anything like that this time.
