Hi all, I put 60k rated tires on the rear of my car 7k ago. Yesterday I had to replace them again! They were COMPLETELY slick! The passenger rear was racing tire clean, no sign that treads were even on them yet it wore evenly. On the other side, there was a faint indentation where the treads used to be. I do not squeal tires or "beat" on this car at all. While these tires wore very quickly, they did wear evenly, and when they were put on I had an alignment performed on the rear. The fronts are almost at half-life now as well. Why would this occur? How can I fix this issue?

Thanks guys

Does your car have any suspension modifications?

None that I know of. Previous owner seemed to have kept it pretty stock. Now I noticed the rear differential is leaking, could a problem in the differential be the issue?

Hello,
its pointing towards an alignhment issue

Did the shop use a spreader bar and mb specs for front alighment?

check all your bushes, double check everything on front lower arm and also rear lower arm outer ball joint as it is hard to see the rubber boots cracked so they flog out and give a lot of play

cheers
