My 4 year old tyres has covered 22000KM on 2018 Honda City.
Using Goodyear GT3.
I checked the front tyre depth it's 3.5mm and rear is around 2.5mm.

Is it supposed to wear out this quickly?
And why the rear wears out faster than the front? Only 2 people in the car most of the time, otherwise 1 person only. Nobody sits behind and don't carry anything in the boot.

What pressure did you pump to each tire?

The recommended. 220 for the front and 210 for rear.

That is abnormal tyre wear rates.

Your rear alignment angles are worse off than the front, never mind even if they are all greens or within oem alignment specifications.

Unfortunately City has a rear torsion beam design which Honda factory doesn't provide for rear alignment adjustment.

A mod on the rear is the only option.

If you have been servicing your car in service center, of course they will help you rotate your tyres without informing you.

Hmm this is interesting. As pointed out by @andrekua2 if the service center might have rotated for you. This could explain why your rear is such low.

Technically due to a front driven car, your tire in the front which is doing the traction work should wear much faster that the rear. In fact your rear usually ends up having almost 2 or 3 mm more when your front tire reaches end of its life.

To investigate further we need to know the wear curves. Is the tread depth all constant from left / center / right? This could give us a hint whether are you having any irregular issues.

Also I have written the importance of rotating tires & also How to increase your tire life span feel free to check it out.

Same ride as u, my GT3 rubbers was left with about 2.5mm after 37,000KM. Gt3 really wear out faster than other rubbers i’ve used in my older rides. Forced to changed due to punctured in 1 tyre from flat metal that cut into it, hence cannot be patched.

Decided to change to XM2+ on all wheels then, rolled slightly more than 30,000KM last measured at last month, still got 6mm left, with 0.3mm diff between the front and rear tires.

GT3 is noisy tire, can feel the drastic differences right after changed XM2+.
