Talk about camber.

Actually almost all rwd benz in singapore. The rear toe and camber can be ajusted.

If any 1 with such car got excessive inner or outer wear on the rear which alway happen.

Just go to proper ws with 3d alignment.  Mostly can be fix.

Well here's the kicker: the Avante has non-adjustable camber, unless you get an aftermarket trailing arm which has camber adjustment :D

New RE005 is out. Looks like  a small improvement on the rather good RE004. 

good to hear further improvements in wet.

The RE004 was already a solid all-rounder, so even a small improvement—especially in wet grip—is good news. Curious to see how the RE005 performs once real-world reviews start coming in.

Compare with Potenza Sport,which is better.?

Potenza Sport is a higher-tier Ultra-High Performance (UHP) tire. RE004/005 just a tier lower as a Performance Tire.

Have Potenza S001 on my car. Very long lasting. Of 4 tyres from new, only replaced 2 (front) after 40k plua km. Rear {rear drive car) still has some thread left at the moment 50k plus km. A bit noisy and slightly hard ride on 18" rims but still acceptable.

my wife's car (FR) also front tyres wear out faster

it's like 33k km vs 55k km

that car has weight distribution of 47/53

I also don't understand why

could it because of staggered wheels?

more rubber at the back?

When brake, weight is shifted to the front. Unless you launch at every stop, most likely front will wear faster than the rear even for rwd.

Non staggered. I think they like to brake (more than using throttle) and braking eats up the front tiyah. And maybe steer like in the old movies, steer a bit left right left right even when the road is straight like a ruler....
