Question

Why does the tire on the rear passenger side wear faster than the rest?

Answer 1

if rear wheel drive thats your drive wheel and if your spinning the tire thats the one doing it and if you have a front wheel drive you need to get a rear wheel alignment as it's out of alignment.

Answer 2

It could be a bent axle or something out of alignment...or it could be you have rear wheel drive and you are taking off too fast spinning your tire ( right rear is traction tire ) causing it to wear faster. That was my problem when I was younger...then I had to buy my first set of tires with my own money...so I quit hot roding.

One other thing...you never said how it was wearing....so if it is a scattered wear...then you may have a bad shock or strut

Answer 3

The alignment of that axle may be off.

Answer 4

Something is probably bent or misaligned. Take it in for a 4 wheel alignment/inspection.

Answer 5

Improper wheel alignment.  No other likely cause really.
