There are four reasons for that kind of wear.

1. Poor quality tires.
2. Improper tire pressure
3. Improper 4 wheel alignment
4. Poor driving habits.

Suggested Repair

Check tire quality, keep pressures at spec, verify a full four-wheel alignment, and review driving habits that cause outside-edge wear.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Toyota Avalon reports tires lasting less than half the expected mileage, with slightly more wear toward the outside of all four tires. Alignment was in spec and pressure was only about 4 psi low. The expert lists four possible causes: poor-quality tires, improper pressure, improper four-wheel alignment, and poor driving habits.
