Hi, my 205/45/17 ps4 is worn faster than my ps4 205/55/16
thinner profile use to be worn down faster?

Theoretically possible because the thinner profile has less flexing and therefore can get more load pressure to the treads. However I personally have never confirmed this myself. My 18' now do seem to finish faster than when I use 17' before but cannot really confirm it yet.

How much faster are yours? Are they on the same car?

both on different car
205/55/16 last 40k+
205/45/17 about 24k now. from the thread, i think better change it at 30k. the prob is, i was driving on wet road at 110kmj the other day and the car was very shaky and unstable. i was shocked and feel like have to change them now.

If on different cars then cannot be conclusive also because the weight, suspension etc. are different.

Yeah 30k is kinda short, should able to at least reach 40k km on normal use.
