rear tire problem I took my car into for an oil change today and the guy was like come take a look at this. my rear stock tires are wore down the cords. but outside the tire is fine with plenty of tread. but at the other end towards inside the car are worn to the bone. any reason why this could happen?

Reason? Sure, you drive a W-body. 
Do a search for "camber bolts" and you should find a few threads about this on here. My '08 had the same issue at 13k, so I had new tires put on and had it aligned...but no camber bolts because I read about them after I already had the alignment...and I haven't had any funny wear in 14k miles since.

had the same issue got 4 new tires b/c of this.. after 3 visits to the dealers they replaced the camber bolts and the wheels look much straighter and after 10,000 miles no signs of any wear.
