So heres the thing, i changed my rear diferential a few years ago now im am having issues wit my rear tires .. they wear out like almost every month. Anyone else had the same issue? this is already costing me a lot. please help

Ps the front tires are fine 🤷‍♀️
 
dang that sounds like a lot of money spent on tires. how many miles a day you drive? That doesnt sound normal to me at all and im sure to a lot of other drivers. clearly there is something wrong about the installation of the differentials or some other parts should be replaced along with those you already replaced.
 
tons of things that can go wrong but its weird why your seeing this problem a few years after you changed the diff. you might want to check the alignment first and see if the suspension is good, control arms, busings shocks stuff like that. these are usually culpris and cause wear
 
No offence, but I have to ask if it's a user error. Are you sure the ratio is the same? A mismatch will cause srubbing and eat your tires

@greasemonkey80 has got a good point. If the ratio is off, it will chew through rubber fast. I would recommend you to still get a shop to check the alignment and rear suspension just to rule out a double whammy.
 
That kind of wear is definitely not normal, especially just on the rears. I agree that you should go with the ratio check first, then have a shop look closely at rear alignment and suspension to rule out anything bent or worn causing the tires to scrub.
