Golf Mk5 rear tyre "saw-tooth" wear/noise

[911ked]

Hi,
I'm sure this has been covered before, but last year I brought a stunning Mk5 Golf GT Tdi 140 on a 58 plate from a USELESS VW main dealer. Its only now done 14k miles but suffers from the well known issue of excess tyre noise caused by "saw tooth" wear to the inner edges of the rear tyres. Its driving me nuts. My questions are these - before it drives me up the wall and the car back through the showroom window......:-

1. Is there a tyre brand/model that is less prone to wearing this way?? and....

2. Apparently, according to VW, there are revised camber geometries for the rear of these cars that reduces the wear - does anyone have these figures?? - ideally the full set of geometry figures for the car front and rear so I can get the car set up correctly before I replace the tyres and knacker them too?? I've lost confidence in the main dealers here to do it properly and know a specialist company that will set it up accuratly, but neither of us can get the revised figures??

Thank you for your help!!

Its caused by the way the rear suspension is set up on these cars and the way the tyre wears out through use - Passats are known for it too apparently - although our similar aged Passat doesn't do it at all!! Its basically uneven wear on the individual blocks of tread on the (rear) tyres on their inside edge. If you run your fingers over the tread on the inside of the tyre its fairly easy to feel the surface that contacts the road - it feels like the blocks literally have sharp edges on one side - visually if you take the wheel off and look at it from behind it looks like the profile of the teeth on a saw (for chopping up wood etc) albeit you have to look pretty close

Aahh. The man from VW says toe out!! Or in.... That figures as it was miles out on my car. Any recommendations of Tyre brands that are harder or less prone to it please???
