My local tire guys recommended Michelin Defender LTX M/S, they said they have a better milage rating than the Firestones.
Any recommendations would me great.
On a side note the right rear is worn about 25% more than the rest, the tire guys said this is because that is the tire that does most of the driving work, sounds a little fishy to me any thoughts?
Have you checked to see if the tires are directional? If so, were they properly installed?

Directional tires should never be rotated using the crisscross method.
