Renault Megane CC 07 - Odd Uneven Tyre Wear - Growing Place

All tyres on the car have a tread of 5mm 0verall with the exception of the OS Rear Inner which is 1.8mm -- anybody any ideas as to why as as a layperson if the camber is wrong then both rear tyres would be worn to the same amount.

Enjoy the sun!!!

On cars with independent rear suspension, one wheel may have the wrong camber but not the other - but if the camber's wrong it normally wears as a gradient across the whole tyre, not just on the edge.

Sounds more likely that the rear toe-in is wrong for one wheel.

A full alignment (not just tracking front & rear) will show any things out of setting - but not always correctable!
