..if its a worn bush, the alignment may only go out under load - at a standstill it may appear fine

If i have read the posts correctly then the track, camber and/or castor will not make any difference as the wear is only on one tyre and not both...... This would suggest a worn suspension bush or a broken coil spring on one side (The side with the worn tyre). Now if my memory serves me right you drive a E36 BMW ? If so then the rear suspension bushes are prone to collapse (Especially if wheelspin's/drifting/erratic drivig) so i would get these checked thoroughly. They are infront of your rear wheel just on the inside of your sill area. I would post a picture for you but i have forgotten how too..... Now thats really bad ! If it were camber/castor then typically both rear tyres would wear down. Hope this helps you ? If your stuck you know where i live, feel free to pop in for a cffee and i will have a look for you.

Tracking will only adjust the toe on the front wheels Toe can cause increased wear on the inside or outside though! It removes the wear from the front to the sides. This tyre, which was -one week old-, was toed out by 1 degree!
