I have a 1998 Contour SVT. I purchased 4 tires had them all mounted and balanced and installed. Shortly afterwards, the rear tires seemed to go out of balance. Had the tires re-balanced and the same problem came back. The rear tires are wearing faster then the front tires
.
I had a 4 wheel alignment about 2 yrs ago. No accidents or anything like that.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

I forgot to mention I already had the tires rotated and the same problem occurred with the tires that had been rotated from the front to the back.

Ah ok. I didnt know you could do a rear wheel alignment on a front wheel drive car.
I asked around and Im taking the car to the place that was most recommended in my town. I will post the results.
