Tire wear problem

I have a 2011 135i with the M sport package I replaced the run flat tires for pilot super sports the problem I am having is the out side of the fronts are wearing. Well it seems I have a camber problems but the car has negative camber so the outside wearing doesn't make sense to me. The pressure has been maintained. Any help with this or personal experience with this I would love to hear. Thanks again.

You'll need at least -1.5 degrees to stop the outside shoulders from wearing substantially.

Could there be problems with the side wall flexing to much? I am still running the 36/39 pressure split.

Not generally the case.

Hard cornering and minimal negative camber = outside tire wear. You can either add more negative camber or slow down.

While it might help marginally, you can try upping the front pressures a bit...can't hurt.

Make sure your camber settings are within the recommended specs. It wouldn't hurt to try adjusting the tire pressure as well.
