Rear tire wear

Hello,
I have a 98 Corolla.
Last December I purchased four new Michelin 80,000 mile tires at Sam's Club. A couple of day later went for a wheel alighnment.
The other day I noticed that the two front tires looked to be in great shape but both rear tires were almost completely worn. I have only driven 8,000 miles on these tires. Considering that this is a front wheel drive what could be going wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Both inside and outside are almost completely worn out...
By outside I assume you mean the "ends" of the tire and by inside I assume you mean "between the ends" of the tires....

In any case, I should have added that I replaced the two tires and moved the two good original ones to the rear. Now I am concerned that whatever went wrong will occur on these two tires as well....Thanks

check the tire pressure it might be too low. a rule of thumb for me is 32psi is just right for stock tires
