Question Rear tires wearing out uneven

I just noticed that my right rear tire is completely worn out while while the other one still has plenty of threads. I took it to a tire place and they were saying that its not an alignment issue and were puzzled as why its happening. It's a c350 08 RWD and Im not a very aggressive driver, always driven on 'C'.
anyone has any thoughts as to whats going on?

thanks in advance.

No MB yet
Have you checked the camber, caster and toe?

Rear Axle Toe is critical on a W204.

I doubt was tire inflation, pressure looked good on all tires. Les schwabb is where I took it and they didnt seem to be alignment experts, so might have to take it somewhere else or at the dealer. thanks for your input.

Post a picture of the tire, it will be a lot easier to answer your question.

ALWAYS, request before, after, and spec hard copies of alignment work before they start. The actual MB spec has very wide tolerances, but does limit the side to side difference to avoid a single, bad wearing tire.

+1 on the pic.
