Is this a recognised effect? I have very similar issues as the OP.
When did you last fit new springs and dampers, springs in particular?

Mine are wearing on the rear like the OP's.
Fronts wear a little on the inside edges but the tyres have been on longer (25000 miles-ish).
I can only assume the camber was set on the front when the 4 wheel geometry was done about 2 years ago.

I had the 4 wheel geometry done about 2 years ago, I straddle the speed cushions (ironic name!) nearly every day one especially is bad, I have to slow to about 5-10 mph (council not interested in my complaint to them).
It's not just the equipment it's the operator too.
wheels-inmotion said:Absolutely agree.... I train the trainers in the "fast-fit" arena and it's scary how basic their knowledge is, anything away from basic problems falls totally out of sight. In fact i had the largest FF in my national network of calibration centers and i've dropped them all from my list.
Unless something changed i dont know about between the coupé and the cab the rear camber is very much adjustable.. Merc call it a full 4 wheel alignment but they have the equipment to adjust the rear camber because i had it done when i changed the springs and wheels, it needs doing because it destroys tyres if its not right... i know this from my previous 230 lol.
