Why are our rear tyres stepping?

We have a 2016 Toyota Auris Estate (petrol) with Michelin tyres. We are on the second set of tyres and the rear tyres are stepping - the first pair of rear tyres (also Michelin) stepped as well. Is it the car, the tyres or us?

Could be a problem with the tyre or an alignment issue with the rear suspension. Given that this is the second set of tyres to show the problem, I suspect it's the former.
