That sounds quite weird. I've never heard of a front drive car that wears out its rears....unless it's been set up with a lot of toe in or out. Even then though, it shouldn't be so great as to be wearing tyres out.

Perhaps the tyre people have found a new way to ensure we use more tyres....

Well at 15k's when I decided to rotate the rubber, I found my fronts are about 30% if I'm lucky, and I have traction ON 95% of the time! The backs looked like new! Damn dirty diesels...

My GTI is harder on rear tyres.
Even with the added power going through the front wheels the rears wear a lot more than the fronts. Its not an alignment issue as they are evenly worn across. I would do it each service if you have wear issues, with my customers golfs, I do as required.

This is true people.

They do wear down & out of round on the back.

Not just Golf''s either, as the Jetta's are even worse. The Jetta's also have a lot of rear wheel bearing problem's too.

If you want to rotate your tyre's, go for it I say.
Especially if you intend to wash the inside's of the rim's, as the brake dust is very corrosive & can start to eat into the clear coat & then the rim.
