tire wear

im having tire wear issues....

here is the pertinent information

stock rear suspension, no front sway bar, 3.23 gears, 3000 yank converter, et streets 26-11.5-15 tires,telstar wheels, ls1 driveshaft,15# nitrous bottle with accessories and brackets mounter over right rear tire...i usually run tire pressure around 12-15 psi...

seems the inner portion of the passenger rear tire is wearing prematurely...

i have been told the promblem could be tire pressure, tires,wheels,alignment,bent axle, or bent axle housing...( excess negative camber on the suspect wheel/tire combo)

i know i need an alignment verification and i have had it aligned, with stock wheels(16s) with street tires...and nothing in the rear was excessively out...

any input or similar problems/fixes would be greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance

clarification

my mistake... in my previous post.. it seems i did not specify...

the passenger rear tire is wearing on the inside.....

i dont know what else it could be..outside of a bent axle housing... the axle tube on the right(passenger) side...

any ideas..or am i on the money....with the information i have received from several alignment technicians, and automotive technicians...


what do you guys think?
