The only thing I can think of is over inflation like you said.
Or excessive burnouts. LOL 
Not sure really.

From your picture I see you have a cobra with indendent suspension. That by itself can/will cause that type of wear especially if you do not or cannot rotate. It is possible that your camber settings are off. Before changing tires I would make sure your suspension is aligned and set properly.
At 25psi, your tires are actually underinflated.

It is a GT with a standard 8.8 straight axle. It just has a cobra front bumper, hood. I only lowered the psi to 25lb after seeing this type of wear. I thought I may be able to get an extra few miles out of them if I put more of the wear on the outsides of the tires by underinflating them.

Thats typical rear tire wear on most cars, even FWD. The front tires usually wear more on the outer edges and the rear wear more in the middle. Thats why you rotate tires, but obviously you cant (unless theyre the same size all the way around).

Yea, that is the problem with not rotating tires and doing alot of burnouts.... and dont say you dont light em up, i can see the scrapes in the tread that give it away.
Also... stop buying such crap tires... thats another part of the problem
yea.. they have been spun alot, but the blacktop isn't only touching the center of the tire.
crap tires.. hmmm.m.... I suppose I will start giving $724 a pair for yokohama's. In this case is it really "you get what you pay for" or is it "anyone who gives over 700 dollars for 2 tires is stupid"

Who are you trying to fool? those are Mastercraft ZHP tires and You can buy them for less than $149 a piece at the local tire store... Please dont try to **** me... i was a tire salesman for new england's largest tire retailer.
I honestly don't give **** who you are... I simply asked for advice on why my tires were wearing the way they do. I am not trying to "fool" anyone into thinking I have your high dollar tires. I gave $130 bucks a piece for them... If you can find anywhere in my post where I once said that I had an expensive tire I will straight up kiss your ass..
I guess there is good reason why you was a tire salesman.. your sure not a very dam good interpreter
I usually try to keep my cool.. this is a dam internet forum, I asked for advice and you came off negative talking the first post. It's easy to talk **** when someone isn't close enough to kick your ass

You just need to read Mr. Adder
People like you are entirely too judgemental and negative on this forum. This is a place to discuss things about mustangs, ask questions, get answers, and give answers. You could have simply said, "I have had experience with somewhat better grade tires and never gotton that type or wear, maybe you should consider that."
Instead this wound up being a topic about how you make $53,000 as a tire salesman. Not a tire shop owner... a behind-the-counter tire salesman. Thats a pretty good junk of change Mr. Adder, especially to be earned by leaning on a counter and talking about you high and mighty tires, and at 20 years old at that.

Blah, I manage a Goodyear store, granted tire sales are only about 25% of our sales, service work is the other 75% Im lucky to break 42k. Time for a raise!
