What would cause this? tire question

My left rear tire is going bald on the side, and FAST. I've always rotated properly, the other tires have more tread on it.


Any ideas?

Alignment was done not long ago as well. Could it be off again?

If you got/get an alignment make sure it/was 4 wheel, not just the fronts.

I have been to two Acura dealers in the past about alignment. The first one fucked it up even worse and they had to replace two tires. The second one did not fair much better. I finally went to an good independent garage and had it done properly. That's my recommendation. Just because the alignment is done, it does not mean it is done right. Don't go to those tire companies for alignment either.

By the way, ALWAYS ask for before and after printout. That's the only way you know what's done to the car
