I had a bent right rear tie rod replaced a year ago then all new tires. Addmittedly I have not rotated the tires- my bad- but the right rear is worn nearly smooth in the middle and all the others are fine. Would any one else suspect a problem with the repair? I was told it is because I didn't rotate the tires and that tire is the main drive tire or something like that.

tyre wear in the centre of the tread is a sign of an over inflated tyre running on the centre only ??
