I've seen a lot of new vehicles that just destroy tyres on the rear, running them out of shape before the tyres are even halfway worn.. Especially VAG and Ford stuff, we had a new passat cc in work a while back that had been to the main dealer several times because of the problem. Volkswagen's response was to track it up the first 3 times, attempt to charge for replacement shocks on the 10k service, then begrudgingly fit a free set of tyres before saying it was down to the customer driving too fast. At this point the car conveniently ran out of warranty.
I still can't work out what's causing the problem, obviously on some vehicles there's an underlying problem as poodle says. But look at any new repmobile or family bus with over 5k on it and no matter what brand of tyre is on there, I'd wager the inner edge on the rear is out of shape, or at least showing signs of it. If anyone knows the cause of that, I'd like to know. I struggle to believe that so many cars are being designed with such a flaw in the design, it's not a problem with older cars, or at least not as bad. So what's changed ?
