The wifes car a 1993 240sx had worn its last set of tires to the belts on the inside edges only. Bought a new set and had a 4 wheel alignment done. After 35k miles, same thing again! The alignment was done by a very reputable shop. That is my first thought that the specs were wrong or the shop did a bad job on the alignment. Any other ideas? I am ready for another alignment.

Alignment isn't the answer, get yourself a $30 camber kit from Eibach.This should solve your problem!

2 things can cause tire wear on the rear. To much neg. camber or to much toe out. A combination of both being slightly out can wear tires. With out seeing the after alignment specs it is hard to say just what the cause is.
