Default Uneven tyre wear

My passenger side tyre is showing signs of hard wear on the outer edge but none on the inner edge whereas the driver's side tyre isn't showing the same amount of wear on the outer edge.

Tyres are Goodyear F1s 205/50zr16 87y and are on late model 5 spoke impreza alloys.

Car is 1993 wrx with coilovers (unknown brand already fitted to the car) and haven't been messed with since i've had the car (3½ years first owner when imported).

Any ideas
Cheers

To some extent the NSF is always steering up hill on the road camber on UK driving on the left hand side roads. Even with 1.25 deg neg camber the outside of my NSF goes just a bit quicker than the inside. Opposite effect on the OS where the inside gets neg camber and steering up the slope so inside goes first. With directional F1s theres nothing that can be done. I just swap front to back at 10-12k tyre life and get 24k out of a set unless I've been on track.

I never really thought of the camber on the roads affecting the tyres that much.
You learn something new every day

cheers.
