Hey all,
Having a little bit of a problem with my rear tyres. On my TE I have just wore a set of rear tyres out. Front tyres are at about 60% but rear are on the wear marks. It is std height with 17" wheels, never touched the suspension. Any ideas on were to start?

Which side of the rear tyres are wearing out.
I suspect that the rear toe setting is incorrect, or you have too much negative camber on the rear..
BTW the toe on the rear is adjustable.
Inside edges wearing first is a sign of toe OUT, as well as negative camber.
Outside edges are a sign of too much toe IN.

If it is even wear it there is not likely to be anything wrong with the car as rear end allignment will give un even wear as stated above
May be very soft tyre compound which is not a bad thing as they will grip better
Have they been on the front, ever rotated etc etc?
