Q: My two back tires are leaning in at the top.
I got new tires about 2 months ago after I bought the car(it was wrecked but fixed when I bought it). My two front tires are perfect still. But my two back tires are worn on the inside to the point that wires are showing. It was raining tonight and my rear end kept sliding so when I stopped I checked my tires and only then did I notice my two back tires are leaning, hence the inside being now bald. I also had a front end alignment done right after I got the new tires and the mechanic mentioned he also had to replace or fix a strut. What could be causing my back tires to lean?
