Default could axle clicking be related to early tire wear?

I had the TSB done for the axle clicking done @ 12k miles. Now I'm @ 45K , the clicking noise is back, and I'm going through my rear tires super quick.

I had so3's and those went so fast i decided to go back to the OEM's and now I'm going through these extremely fast too. i don't race and drive relatively conservatively - they tires are wearing evenly and have the correct PSI

Is there any chance that the premature tire wear and the intermitten clicking from the rear axle (that the dealear can't seem to recreate when i bring it in) are related?

I'm going to say no as well. I had the clicking fixed. It was just some dry grease. I cannot see how dried out grease could lead to tire feathering/wear.

any other thoughts on what could be making them wear so fast?

I had the rear bearings replaced about 10k ago, as they were making a ton of noise. Any chance this is related?
