Nope.
Bad alignment.
Bad shocks would cause the tires to be choppy or uneven.

SOURCE: uneven tire wearing in rear. new shocks or springs?

yes more than likely shocks are bad and not keeping the tires firmly planted on the road.Make sure tires are balanced too.Also have alignment checked (all 4 wheels)

SOURCE: what is the average repair cost of Mazda MPV rear

Hello. First of all you can get new shocks at most any repair shop. The most costly will generally be at the dealership. That said, call several repair shops in your area and get firm estimates. In my area I estimate the average cost at about $275.

SOURCE: how do i change the spark plugs in a 2000 mazda

Hi,
Just remove first the spark plug cables on top of your engine, then use a 23mm socket wrench, turn the socket wrench counter clockwise until the spark plugs are loosen.
Hope that helps you!

The rear shock went out in my 06 Mazda tribute is it ok to remove it and still drive on it temporarily

NOT a good idea! The shock is what keeps your wheel/tire planted on the road. Without it the tire will bounce like a basketball. This will reduce traction and handling, affect braking, and may do damage to your tires. A weak shock is still better than no shock.

Rear Tires: Balding

if it has independent rear suspension then have the suspension rubbers checked and replace if necessary. Next for all wheel alignments it is essential that the rear end is aligned first to stop this tyre wear before the front wheels are aligned . IF you have leaf springs at the rear check for axle alignment and broken centre bolts or worn rubbers at the centre bolt mounts.

Inside of front tyre going bald

Just one tire or both? Likely you need an alignment done, but other things can cause tire balding and cupping. Brakes pulling to one side or other can also cause tires to wear prematurely and unevenly. Worn Shocks/Struts are also culprits. Worn or broken bushings in the suspension. Also, bearings starting to seize up can cause this as well. In other words, a BUNCH of things can cause the problem. If you have no issues with steering, handling, braking, it is likley just a simple alignment is needed. Take it in to a reputable place and they can diagnose the exact cause and suggest repair needed. Good luck.

Axel for 2002 kia rio

You should make the front end repairs and then get new tires. An alignment won't help until you replace the bad parts.

Front end problems

You seem to have more than one problem, first of all the balding tire you have a negative camber problem that can be adjusted by getting a wheel alignment done. The shaking problem while applying brake could mean that you have bad/warped front rotors. It can also mean bad Tie rods. Lastly it can mean that the front tires needs to be high speed balanced. Good Luck
