Outside tires are wore down further than the insides. Is this normal?

I am going to swap them around to even out the wear.

I bought it in '08. I have put 47K om it. Steel rims. The tires on the back are Michelins. They were on it when I got it.
The wear is even.

Do you rotate them regularly

Im a little confused, you said the outside tires were worn down more, but then said the wear is even?

Rotation will help, and the outside tires may see more weight if you happen to drive on the typical asphalt roads with the wear patterns in them. They will ride higher in the "groove" than the inner tires.

They also have to turn farther on corners, and see more tire scrub in corners.

Yes, as far as each tire. My front end needs some work. The fronts that were on there were pretty bad. One had a broke belt.

BTW 383 you make some valid believable points

Have you checked your tire pressure since '08?

Yep. Equal pressure in all the tires.
