Why rear tires wear unevenly?
Uneven tire wear can be caused by a couple of things. The tire pressure could be low. Or the rear wheel alignment could be off.
What happens if you over Under inflate your tire?
Your gas mileage will suffer and the tires will wear on the outer edge,unevenly.
Will incorrect tire inflation cause tire wear?
Yes. Low pressure will cause edge wear. Over inflation will cause center wear.
What happens to the pressure of a tire if air is slowly leaking out of the tire?
It looses air therefore, you have a flat tire so you should go to a mechanic! The tire pressure slowly drops causing the tire to wear unevenly and you to have less stability and control of your vehicle.

No, the CV axle only allows the power from the engine to reach the wheels. It does not affect the alignment, which is what will cause uneven wear.
Can faulty bushings cause tire wear?

What is The single greatest cause of tire damage?
Tire wear is the most common "damage". The most common cause is use, but the greatest cause of tire wear is an improperly aligned vehicle. This is known as excessive tire wear. Excessive tire wear is wear that is in excess of what would be expected for the actual miles of use. Another cause of excessive tire wear (even on a properly aligned vehicle) is improper tire inflation. Over inflated tires cause the tire to wear in the center of the tread and under inflated tires will wear the outer portion of the tread. To focus more on damage as a single incident verses wear as an ongoing process. Severe impacts such as hitting a curb or a large pothole would top the list. The lower a tires aspect ratio the greater the potential for damage from this type of impact. The question needs clarification.
