Default One Tire Wearing Faster?...Already STFA

My passenger rear tire has less than half the tread of the rest of my tires. All were replaced when I purchased the car 9 months ago. The wear on this tire is even across, not inner or outer tire wear. The car does not seem to pull. The car does have a shimmy at ~80 mph. Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks for the help.

Default Alignment. probably toe.

1. A slight toe in at the rear will not effect dramatic pull.

2. By and large, and contrary to popular belief, shimmy is rarely associated with alignment

Get the toe checked on that wheel.
