You don't mention what car you have, or its year. If you will do that, I can putt his thread in the correct section where there already may be an answer to your question, or at least guide you to it.
What I will say is that most current Mazda's, modern cars in general, have little or no adjustments available in the rear suspension. To make further adjustments often requires replacing factory parts with adjustable aftermarket pieces. I did this to my Mazda3 and it's never been happier, but it will cost you an additional (+/-) $200, which with the cost of new tires is well worth it IMO.
Another thing you can do which will not eliminate the problem, but can help is to rotate your tires more frequently. This will "help" even out the wear pattern and your tires will last a bit longer.
Lastly, if you don't heed any of my other suggestions above, at least make sure the toe in, which is adjustable, is set to zero degrees (0*.) Rear suspension that has too much/any toe in will wear tires faster than almost anything else.
