The back right tyer on my civic is wearing noticably on the outside but no wear on the inside. Any ideas why this would occur.

Thanks

Tracking/balancing me thinks but see what the others say

Most probably as said above tracking. Hopefully your rear axil ain't fixed like renault laguna's. My father's rear axil in his Laguna is fixed. It is 3MM out of placed and that has made him loose a tyre already. It cannot be fixed or tracked by renault, All they can do is replace the rear axil which is gonna set him back Alot of $$$$$.

They main cause of this is a Big ass pot hole you hit that has damaged the rear axil. Or if you have been recently in a car accident. Better hope your rear axil ain't fixed.

Get the tracking checked and wheels balanced first. When this is done it might be worth swapping the tyre for the spare or a new tyre to see if the uneven wear continues. If so it could be a possible sign of previous accident damage to the back axel or chassis.

An out of balance contitioin would normally leave patches of worn/unworn thread. A continuous side wear would result from an out of alignment condition, either from a crash, repairs where an alignment was required afterwards, but not completed. Wear in ball joints and retaining bushing and/or poor assembly from the factory. and at worst a loose/worn hub bearing.
