I have a 2005 HSE with 32K on it that I just bought this month... I noticed today that the rear wheels seem to be tucked "in" a little at the top (i dont know exactly what it is but I think this is negative camber perhaps?). And sure enough... the insides of the rear tires are more worn that the outsides... pretty badly actually. The truck had a 4 wheel alignment 1K ago from the LR dealer I bought it from (it is a Land ROver CPO car with the warranty for another year thru land rover certified)

I could swear when I bought the truck (1K miles ago) the rear tires were not unevenly worn. Could this type of tire wear happen that quickly? The tires are almost brand new (maybe 3-5K on them).

Either way I'm unsure if the wear was prior to the dealer doing that alignment or has happened in the last 1K as a result of their alignment.

Have read on the forums about tire wear on these things.. but I kind of think I should go back to the dealer to have them re-align. Right? I mean, the left rear tire is noticeably tilted inwards at the top a bit.

Ideas?

Do you have The factory GoodYears. I will go out on a limb and say the answer is yes. The factory Tires are junk and should be replaced with a different tire. do just buy a tire for this vehicle. What do you plan on doing with your LR. will you be taking it off road at all. ect.

This is a good place to start.

pirelli scorpion something or others

Actually they are pirelli scorpion 2 something or others... on the stock 19" HSE rims.
I had these same times (in 18") on my old 2003 Disco 2... they seemed fine there. Not great offroad but semi ok for the small about of wheeling I do.

I have had the same issue with tires on my 2006 LR3. Factory Goodyears wore on the inside edge of rear tires. Dealership put new tires on in 2008 and 2 dealership alignments and same issue again. New set of Michelin's went on last week and getting a new alignment today.
