Suspected tyre theft - advice please!
Discussion
Need some advice please guys.
I put new rears on my chariot 2000 miles ago at £430.
I got an MOT 6 weeks straight through and then took the car to another local garage for some radio issues which were fixed.
When I look at the rears now they are through to the canvas. I absolutely haven't driven it that hard over 2K, and it passed an MOT the day before it went to the other garage.
I suspect someone has swapped the rears off. Has anyone had this kind of issue before and if so do you have any advice?
I'd be grateful for some help as at the moment I'm contemplating popping over to the garage with my Polish cousins for a brief chat to clear things up.

Have they worn evenly across the whole tread or is it on the inside edges? If the rears are cambered, or if the alignment is out, the inside edges can wear scarily quickly leaving the bulk of the tread intact.
The risk/reward for a professional garage to steal tyres just does not add up!

Yeah they’re pretty standard off the shelf continental rears on an M3 that BM fitted.
It’s not really that much of a coincidence for some putrid foreskin of a scrote to spot a set of rears that fitted their car and swap them over.
My old man took the car in and it was there for a few days in a garage with a ramp and everything needed to swap it.
On the balance of probably someone is more likely to have swapped

More likely the same car and the same tyres but for the 2 days your car was in at the garage it was getting thrashed to within an inch if its life with the rears smoking non stop.
Did you check the mileage before you dropped it off?
Have had similar with a couple of my fast cars in the past.
