Why is the rear tire tread wearing more on the inside edge in my Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

On my Mercedes E-Class W211, the rear tires have noticeable wear on the inner edges, which is worrying because I drive mostly on well-paved roads in Karachi. Could this be a camber alignment issue, suspension component wear, o r improper tire inflation? How can I diagnose and fix this problem?

Inside edge tire wear on rear tires usually indicates:

Negative camber alignment: The wheels tilt inward excessively, causing the inner edge to bear more load.

Worn suspension parts: Components like control arms o r bushings may be loose o r damaged, affecting camber.

Improper tire pressure: Underinflated tires can exaggerate edge wear.

Load distribution: Consistently carrying heavy loads o r uneven weight can worsen inner edge wear.

What to do:

Have a full wheel alignment done, paying close attention to camber settings.

Inspect and replace worn suspension components.

Maintain proper tire inflation according to Mercedes specifications.

Avoid overloading the vehicle and balance cargo evenly.
