[img]Hello, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I live in Abu Dhabi, UAE and drive a 2015 mk7 GTI. Around 30,000 km (18,750 m) the car stated to make a wining noise form the back which increased in pitch with speed. I took the car to their dealer for the regular service and informed them about the noise. They said that the rear tires were unevenly worse on the inside and showed me how the tire blocks on the insider were somehow not level. When I sepxpressed surprise that the rear tires can wear this quickly, especially that my driving is not so hard and the fornts showed normal wear, they claimed that all GTI's and R's have this problem. This is my first GTI so I could not challenge them; however I was not convinced that VW would design a car that chews its tires in such a way. I took the car to a third party type center and changed all 4 tires to Michelin Pilot Sport 4. When they checked the alignment, they informed me that the rears had excessive camber and that if I leave them, the new tires would wear unevenly and begin to make noise. The alignment technicician did not know why I replaced the tires in the first place and why. He made that remark independently and showed my how much it was out on the Hunter Machine. The rear-left camber was -1 deg 41 min and the rear-right was -2 and 12 min. I decided to let him adjust it and the the rears are visibly more vertical. I am still concerned how the camber was out by this much in such a relatively new car, and if these people messed with my car and the camber is supposed to be there by design. What convinced me was the premature tyre wear. Were the original values normal?
