Default rear camber problems

I noticed premature tire wear only in the middle of the rear tires(pirelli p zeros) I check tire pressure it was fine, in reading other threads it says that if the stock suspension is modified .08 lower then stock that the camber might be effected, I have stock suspension, the only other thing I can think of is the custom stereo, I would say everthing weighs less then 120lbs in amps , mdf board electronics and sub, do you think this extra weight is where the problem lies? I have since switched to 20 inch axis mods with falken 255-35-20 all around I just dont want my new tires to do the same thing, here is the pic of the extra weight , please help!

Default Definitely.........

Lower your pressure - if it's at 35psi on your gauge, lower it down 2psi & watch the tires closely.

Pirelli tires seem to be notorious for that sort of wear. I have a friend with an Audi S4, no suspension mods at all, and he's been throuh two sets of Pirelli P Zeros... both did the same thing... premature wear in the center of the tire. He fiddled with pressures and no matter what, the second set also wore out.

He ended up replacing them with Michelin Pilto Sports.
