I got brand new tires about 4 months ago and one of them out back is gone from the outside(passenger side)? Why? Do the rear wheels get aligned also or is there something more serious like a bent axle?
What would cause uneven tread wear in the rear???

95Vert,
The rear does not get aligned on our cars.
The more likely cause for a rear tire wearing unevenly is a bent wheel. Get an alignment shop to do a runout test on the wheel in question. That will tell you if it's bent.

Bent rim. warped rotor, worn suspension: contol arms, shocks, quads etc. Just about anything that has to do with the rearend could be a cause..
Thanks guys but my shocks, springs, and upper and lower control arms went on about a month before I bought the tires. Now that you guys mention it, I didn't have uneven treadwear before. What could it be since everything is new?

I noticed that after doing some counter clockwise donuts, the outside of my right rear tire seems a little more worn than the inside. I think that the momentum from the car made it eat more tread off of the outer part of the tire. Donuts eat up a ton of tread life after about 3 turns because of how hot the tires get, I have actually gotten hit in the arm by a piece of rubber off of my tire (stuck in my arm hair).
