I assume those are rear tires and if so, then it's pretty normal for the inside edges to wear before the outside due to the negative camber of the suspension system on our cars -- they're just not supposed to wear that much because you're supposed to get new ones when they get low...
I'd say you drove on those things a bit too long!

less than 2mm tread is threshhold to change ,in my opinion,?40000.00 running on that,what price your life.
runflat--------------run on what? your rims
you must be teasing us.
forget balancing---try juggling!

is it nomal ... to have inner side of tyer gone more than outer ? do I have to do any kind of balancing ?
Wear looks normal as the rear camber will wear the inside edge more than the outside. But as already noted regulars checks are required on all of the tread
(I'd recommend 2mm minimum too!)Time to buy some 'decent' tyres... Let's say Michelin PS2's

I have never seen a tyre that worn! Great pics
But I know how you guys ride your cars know there, I'm not surprised what they get worn out,
and in those conditions the RF tyre comes to value!
I suppose the car was driven something like 15,000 km???
