Hi
I've been having trouble for years with my back tyres wearing out really quickly. It doesn't matter if they're expensive or budget, about 7000 miles is the most i'd get out of them before i need to change them and the latest ones are gone from just over 5000 miles. The front ones last OK and they are 225/45/17 in size. The rear ones 245/45/17.
When i first had the car, whatever tyres were on there seemed to be OK and had a fairly good life, But every tyre i've had on the back since has been awful.
I've just looked on some online tyre sites, entered my registration and i'm getting recommended 225/45/17 for the fronts (fine) but 245/40/17 for the rear so could it be possible that i've had the wrong size profiles all this time? I've no idea what was on there at the beginning of my ownership 8 years ago and no garage or tyre fitters have ever said those are wrong, they've just fitted new ones. Do you think it could be the wrong size tyre fitted and might this explain the premature wear?
Thanks
