8 month old Model Y 11,000 miles driven I was told Rear tires need replacement they completely wore off. Mostly driven in City roads except for 1 road trip on I5 and I40.

They look like all season Goodyear Asymmetric 5s, 500 treadwear ratingLoudMusic: Careful, you're probably comparing apples to oranges. I'll be you've got 19"s, the OP seems to have performance summer 20s or 21s.
@ Pianewman: Sorry for the confusion ... "I keep thinking you mean the actual thickness of the tire wall rubber itself" , yes this is what I am saying. If you have the right tool U could measure this. One quick way to see this is we go to any tires stores and see how 10 Michelin stacks up vs other brand of the same X/Y/Z size , Michelin tires stack is taller. I don't trust this judgement call from engineering standpoint but at least it gives me some indicationsCMPT PAD: I now realize/assume when you say "tire wall thickness of Michelin tires", you're talking about how far it extends over the lip of the wheel rim? Please clarify.
You've posted before about "tire wall thickness", and I keep thinking you mean the actual thickness of the tire wall rubber itself, which is a totally different thing.
FYI, when the time comes, I'll probably go with the CC2 tire. Hmm...maybe the newest Goodyear supposedly dedicated EV tire, but I've already read some complaints about expansion crack harshness, which makes sense. Designing a low rolling resistance (LRR) tire requires a level of stiffness that can compromise smoothness.
@Pianewman as I stated "Michelin tires stack is taller. I don't trust this judgement call from engineering standpoint". Only actual measurements or specs from tire manufacturing companies would tell us the whole story. At one time a serviceman at Costco tire center had his tire measurements and shared with me, unless he pulled my legsI'll challenge your assumption that because Michelin tires "stack is taller" their sidewalls are thicker. Some brands of tires have a rounded shoulder/sidewall (I believe Michelin?), some are more square. This difference is probably what you're noticing when the tires are stacked.
I just saw various brands on display at Costco: Bridgestone QuietTrack and Michelin CC2 were out on the floor. If I had a caliper, it would be easy to measure the actual thickness.
Keep in mind that if the sidewalls ARE in fact thicker, the sidewall would be stiffer, which would result in a harsher ride.
I could be very WRONG here, since Tesla has high torque compared to ICE even with light footed driver like me tires would be worn out faster? I don't know until I have my carI have 20s on my car and I have 25k on them. Looking like I’ll get 36k out of my first 4. Rotate every 5k miles
