The sway bar should not have an effect on how the tires wear. When was the last time you had an alignment? It sounds like the rear toe is out of spec.

It can be rear toe, yet it could also be sagged springs. Are both rear tires worn only on the inside?

Have you ever don't an alignment with that many miles on the vehicle? If so, how many miles ago? How many times have you rotated the tires since they were installed? That's a lot of miles to run them w/out changing positions. Check your air pressure also.

Actually the sway bars do affect tire wear!!! That is, if the rest of the suspension is not calibrated accordingly, no pun intended. The TL suspension (even more so the manual tranny) also includes differently calibrated shocks and different springs. Just swapping a swaybar affects the suspensions "dynamic" geometry thus leading to iregular wear. So, of course, balance, and alignment are crucial and should be your first steps to undertake, but suspension tuning may still be less than perfect leading to your problem.
