Rear Tire Problem
I got my CTS-V back in 05-2010 and the tire where new.
Now the rear tire are eating up the inner side of the tread.
After driving the CTS-V the car smell like burning rubber and the inner side of the tire is HOT.
Any help?
Can a alignment fix it?

GM's tire choice is rubbish... that's what I'm telling you. The dealer gave me crap on warranty work because of the abnormal wear on the original tires.
All of the stockers wore funny. That's why no-one is running runflats anymore.

Weird. It's almost like the front end alignment is independent of the rear end alignment.
I would be willing to bet that your rear toe numbers are way off, which is what is causing the tires to scrub the inner shoulders like that.
Before you go get an alignment, I encourage you to print out the alignment specs from the CTS-V FAQ and bring those with you. If you just go to a shop and say, "I want an alignment," they'll do the minimum work necessary to get the car "in the green" on their computer screen, which could still leave you with a crappy alignment. If you give them actual numbers to align to you'll get a better result. Make sure the printout they give you when they're done actually matches what you asked for.
