    Hey, I just nticed today that my rear wheel is gone completely bald on the outside and is fine on the inside. I dont kow a thing about cars but I guess this is something to do with wheel alignment?? Before I go in and get it fixed does anyone have any idea what is the cost of getting wheels aligned? just so i will have an idea if i'm getting ripped off or not. (p.s. i'm based in dublin so the dublin price!)
    Thank you

    it might be related to your wheel alignment but it also could just be that the tire was over/under inflated for a long time.,
    see if its in the 28-30psi range.,

    Sounds like the tracking alright.
    Should be cheap enough, i would imangne it wouldnt be above 50 euro for the 4 wheels. They usualy do it for free when you get new tires so im not fully sure on the price.

    Yea, sounds like either tracking or tyre pressure.

    On some cars the rear tracking can't be adjusted. In that case it could also be a bent suspension component that needs replacing.

    Thanks for the replies. I am pretty good at keeping an eye on the tire pressure and judging by how quick it wore away, I reckon it must be the tracking. Thanks again
