Rear tire size, brand, model, pressure, wear, and sometimes even AGE need to be an exact match.
Your problem is 100% one of the above...pressure covers 95%

Tire pressure most likely.
But our cars are extremely sensitive to differences between right and left tires. Meaning tread depth and tread pattern. I had bought some rear tires used ,very high quality tires. The tread depth was one mm difference between the two. The tire wear patterns were slightly different. Not much.
Caused the exact same issue as yours.
Are your rear tires cheepos? Were they new when installed on the car?

I never had problems with my Kumho Ecsta ASX tires.
I recently replaced them though. I went from old Ecsta ASX tires w/ about 4.5/32" left to their replacement model, Kumho Ecsta 4X. The new Ecsta 4X tires are a pretty decent improvement for a cheap all-season tire.

If you want a good but cheap tire for the S, I'd look at the Hankook Ventus V12 evo's or the Sumitomo HTRZ3's. If you have a little more to spend I'd look at the Star Specs.
Whatever you do, ditch the all seasons asap!

Running all season tires on the S is such a waste of performance! All seasons are good at nothing.
