Whilst washing the car a couple of days back I noticed that the inside shoulder of the left rear was bald! I had a camber and tracking alignment done when I put the new (Toyos) on and another one done when I had the lowering springs fitted. The printouts show that everything was ok after this. I run the pressures people recommended on here and check them regularly. The right rear is ok.

Guessing that its a gradual wear from inside to out?

No, first inch of the tyre edge is completely bald, the rest of the tyre is worn but not to the same extent. The groves on the tyre are completely gone yet still perfectly fine on the other tyre.

Very strange, pickled me all i can think of is being there when tyre went on or foul play by someone which sounds to me implausible.

When I had a rear left wearing it turned I changed the rear trailing arm bushes and it seemed to fix the problem.  It also fixed the ever so slight wobble I wss getting on boost from the back end
