Default Thread wear / pressure

Replacing my Bridgestone Potenza 760's with S04's. I just wanted to see if others are experiencing the same wear patterns. I inflate my tires to 32psi on all 4 corners. I measured thread depth and found the outer rears both sides at 6/32nds, center at 5/32nds, and the inner's at near 7/32nds. Would this be considered normal wear? I know they say that if the centers are wearing faster, the tire is over inflated. Before I run the new S04's I want to make sure that I'm running the correct pressure.

Based on your wear, id drop the pressure down to 30psi for starters and increase the negative camber around -0.3 degree.

Thanks Junky. I just put the S-04's on, I cannot believe the difference in handling and they aren't even broke in yet. I'm taking the car over to an alignment shop and I'm going to tell them to increase negative camber by -0.3 degrees. Really looking forward to some spirited driving on the new tires.
