Default Quick HELP!!

Buddy of mine is in Saint Louis right now looking at a Mill Yellow 2000 6-speed with 118k miles on it.

He just called and said that the rear tires seem to be worn on the outside edge and wondered if this was a C5 characteristic. I said NO, the rears usually wear pretty even.

Anyone have any thoughts on why they are worn like this?

Hopefully its something just as simple as an alignment but just seemed odd to me.

He's checking the tire size, he did say the backs looked kinda small.
