Yes , I know tyre wear has taken up many lines of comment on this forum and I've tried to find info on this aspect but to no avail.........!
I replaced all 4 tyres at approx 18k (think 2 of them had already been replaced before that by VW as it was 6months old when I got it with 7k on it). Now at 26.5k the rear tyres are almost at the point where I will have to replace them AGAIN and strangly the front ones probably have another 6k+ left on them. The rears do seem to be wearing fairly evenly so it cant put it down to alignment. Spoke to the dealer and they are going to check bushens & alignment and have said there is no pattern on the Touareg as to whether the fronts will wear faster or not, which I find rather strange but as its my first 4x4 I dont know any better. I do some towing with a medium sized garden trailer & a boat but this would only account for small % of total miles.
Anyone any similar experience and is there anything VW can do to help....... especially under warranty would be even better?
Thanks
