Excessive tirewear in the rear
For the last year I’ve have been having to put tires on my RWD 07 sedan like every 4 months not driving aggressively enough for them to wear that quick and opions on whats causing this? It’s happening on my stock and after market wheels I’m thinking the last person who done my alignment Screwed up my toe on the rear. Here’s a picture of tire from over my tires. I do have spacers but this was happening before the spacers. Also I know my from alignment is off they wear pretty much evenly but they only last 4 to 6 months max

the last place I took it to said they used a computer for the alignment, but I think I was lied to because the rear tire wear was worse after my car was returned. I’m but going to take it to the Nissan dealer they are only charging me $89 for a 4 wheel alignment. I’m sure they’ll let me known if something else is wrong.

Don't go to Nissan for the alignment with the spacers on, they have no idea how to adjust for them. I recommend a local alignment shop, one that specializes in just alignments (or frame straightening since those guys specialize in alignment as well). Do you have the last alignment report that Nissan gave you when you picked up your car?

No you want the vehicle configured exactly as you intend to use it before getting your alignment in case you NEED negative camber for the tire to clear the fender due to the spacers, the problem lies with Nissan unfortunately. I've had REALLY bad experiences with Nissan and alignment adjustments. We still need to look at your most recent alignment report, as well as pictures of your tires. Those two things will help determine WHY you are eating through rubber so quickly. Do you have any suspension mods, how many miles is on the chassis.
