Default Stock suspension = not enough negative camber?

My P6000s only have about 15K miles on them, but I was about to place my summer tires/rims on the car when I noticed the P6000 tires are definitely wearing unevenly, the outer edges wearing off the tread more rapidly. I figure this is due to hard cornering as I use 42psi tire pressure so it's unlikely to be underinflation. Is this just something I have to live with on a heavy car or is the front camber easily adjustable?

FYI both the front and rear tires seem to be doing this, although I have rotated the tires a few times so it's hard to be sure.

Lower your car, that is sure to fix the outside wear. You will now have inside wear! : )

Default Why are you running 42 psi? 36f/34r is fine on the street, even for hard driving.

But I don't know why that's wearing the outsides of your tires. Have you had your alignment checked lately?
