Sawtooth

Does anyone else's tyres suffer from this?

I have the original bridgestones on, so was wondering if it's a common thing on other brands too?

Had it on my mk5 Golf. Became very noisy and sounded as if a rear wheel bearing had failed. You could see and feel the 'stepped' tread on the inside edge of the rear tyres. Tyres were Bridgestones.

Haven't experienced it on subsequent cars.

It happened on mk5 golfs due to wear in the rear suspension.

This keeps happening on my fronts only.

Thought I had it on the back but it was a dodgy wheel bearing. I rotate my wheels to keep the wear even, I think that helps.

With a few mm left and after ~60k my original rear OEM BS's finally drove me mad with this.

I can't complain really, ~60k is incredible really.

My P7s did it as well.
Now I swap fronts and backs diagonally every so many miles. Also wears them out evenly, so some hope the lease company then put on four of the same (well once they didn't).

That is, my P-Zeros are close on 18k and I think they would do 20 but I want to change them before winter regardless. They had a hard life for the first 1500 miles as a demo car judging by the test drive I had....

This is what drives me a little mad about golfs! My mk5 did it, my mk7 does it... What's the solution?

Tracking, not the VW tracking figures. Had it done on my CC's to stop it and never had a problem again, plus point was a nice little bit of lift off oversteer when i wanted a bit of fun. You will need to find someone that knows how to do it though, I have mine done in Birmingham.
