Excessive rear tyre wear

Hi, has anyone experienced excessive rear tyre wear on their Rocco? I've only managed 10k out of my rears?!? The fronts are almost up to 20k now with plenty of tread left. The tyres seem to be wearing evenly also which is strange. I've had the car 4 wheel tracked around a year ago. Is it a design flaw? Or my Driving? :(

Thanks.

That does seem odd as I got over 60k out of my rears. In fact, the issue with rears on Sciroccos and other VAG cars using the same platform is that you get abnormal wear on the rear, sawtooth and tread stepping which gives droning.

Must be your driving :)

What brand of tyres are you using? I've been using Bridgestones as they came with the car originally.

On the rear I have Pirelli P Zeros, which is what my car came with from the factory. On the front I currently have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which is what I would recommend. as they are excellent.
