rear tire on 2006 Hyundai Tucson?

[rstevens62]

I had new tires put on about 1.5 yrs ago, all the tires (except the rear driver side one) are in good shape, plenty of tread and wearing evenly. The rear driver side tire though, is wearing drastically on the outer edge.

This is a front wheel drive vehicle, 2WD, so Im not sure what is causing that one tire to wear like that...any thoughts?

Some FWD cars also need rear tire alignments.

Your Tucson has a independent rear suspension. You may have a bad ball joint or hub or some misalignment in the suspension. You’ll need to swap the tire an check the alignment
