I got new tires three mos ago. the back ones are now completly bald, i mean slick like racing tires and the front are still brand new looking and it is front wheel drive and i do not drive like a maniac. it is a 97 chrysler sebring. Can anyone give me a clue why it is doing this? Second set of tires i have gotten it.

Have your shocks checked. If you saved the sales receipt for the tires then you might be able to get them replaced, it depends on the warranty period.
Consider what tires you are buying. Usually the more expensive, the the tire, the more tread. However high end RACING tires are designed to go bald quickly, because they have more tire surface gripping the road. They give a better ride for a racer, and cling to the corners, but they have a shorter lifespan.

That real easy. You need a wheel balance and alignment. I had a brand new Chevy suburban and it did the same thing. However the first few days I had it I was rear ended and it make it out of balance I did not know! Well boy did it cost me.

Rear axle alignment is out of adjustment or car has been in a previous accident and not repaired properly.
Or someone stole your tires

Probably an alignment issue, most likely non adjustable rear settings, so I would presume something is bent.

it could be a alignment problem or tires need rotation...but i know the 99 sebring had the same prblem

It seems that everyone is favoring this, so I'm saying rear end is out of alignment, too. Either that or they're not balanced properly.

You need to lub-up your rear axle. The tires are being forced to turn and consequently "dragged" around.
