Why do my car tires keep wearing out and blowing out?

Rapid and uneven tire wear often stems from an underlying alignment, suspension, or rear-end defect that destroys fresh rubber prematurely. Constant blowouts and replacements prevent you from driving safely and create ongoing repair expenses.

As you can see, the wear on the passenger rear is terrible.source ↗

My question is, do you think I have a beef with the dealer on the wear on this tire?source ↗

Perhaps something done wrong on the rear end work causing this wear issue?source ↗
