What causes rapid tyre wear?
I have a 2016 Nissan Note that’s only done 14,400 miles and the two front tyres have almost reached their end. Surely this is not normal life span for a tyre? Can you suggest what may be the cause, and what should I do before I replace them?

There are a number of factors that can accelerate tyre wear. Incorrectly inflated tyres is common. If the car is left standing for long periods outside then the tyres will lose air over time. If you drive the car with underinflated tyres it will increase rolling resistance and generate more heat, which will shorten the life cycle of the tread.
