Wear on rear tyre

Just checked my tyres and noticed that the rear passenger side has worn down just on the inside tread , car has done 80k but only about 3k in my ownership, the tyres were all in good nick the last time I checked, what should I look for before I take it for a new tyre. Question

First port of call is a 4 wheel alignment.

Could be that it's out and causing inner wear.

After that I'd have a look at the rear suspension bushes etc.

I'm sure someone with a better tech knowledge will be along soon.

If it does need 4 wheel alignment ,which by reading further into it on the forum it does, can anyone recommend anywhere near Caernarfon North wales.

Sorry Dave to disagree

Check your upper rear bushes then the arb ones and wheel bearings . All of these effect tyre wear.

Unnecessary quote removed

Check your rear upper arm bushes and the arb bushes if these are worn then this could be your problem.. or if they are ok then it needs a full 4 wheel alignment check doing.
