I figured I may as well measure them as they are currently off the rims. If they were more like 4s all across I'd change them but I figure I'll get through this and maybe most of next year with them.

My 10 GS wears the tires even across both from and back. They're Michilin Super Sports and they've been on it about a year.

Question
Being that my car has the stock front alignment and the even wear to the outside walls at 4mm, should I bother having the alignment done at this time to get a more even wear or just WAIT until I buy new tires?

Leave them as is... I tried changing my alignment on my car halfway through the tires life and the car was all over the road afterwards.. ...WW

My tires are too new, but your numbers look normal. It's typical on most vehicles to see between 1 and 2 32nds different between voids. 4- range, 6-7 looking good so far.
Your front outers may be from enthusiastic cornering, or just from the camber being set neutral.

My Firestones have 17,500 miles on them and still look new. They get aligned every 5,000 miles.

I have the Michelins - - tire wear seems nice and even on my base C6 with Z51. I'm running about 31 - 32 PSI cold in the tires. Wear is at about 8/32 on all four corners.
