Tires Worn already?

If you stick to the auto industry standard (6,000 miles) you will achieve the best average tread life. For example: if Mr Jones comes in for a service at 3,000 miles (oil change tire rotation). after that he waits 3 months but only drives 1000 miles and then receives a letter/phone call from the dealer/repair facility that it is time for the next service (i.e. 12 month or 10,000 mile service). The customer comes in and performs the 10,000 mile service 4,000 miles to early. if this trend continues his tires will be worn out before 20,000 miles

Ummm... That is like saying that a bottle of milk is used up depending on how many times the fridge door is opened, whether you drink from it or not.

Tires do not wear according to how many times they are rotated, they wear according to how many miles they have done, and on which end of the car they are (if you don't rotate them).

Believe me, after 40 years of driving, I have already done that.

The EAGLE LS from the 2010 3 door are down to 8/32s ( used for rear ) and 6/32s ( used for front ) at around 10,000 miles of use since bought new in mid January , 2010 . This includes use of snowtires for the past 2 winters . The snow tires were installed the day we picked it up new in mid JANUARY 2010 until about mid April and then snows installed again mid Novemeber 2010 . They EAGLES LS take place of the snows in a day or so . They were also rotated once . That's not so good for tread life . They start at 10/32's .

to sum up the my original issue, the rear tires on my car definatly had a huge toe-in. it was significant enough that if u looked from the rear of the car u could tell the rear tires were toed in.


this toe was definatly caused by lowering the car the amount i did. i noticed with the stock suspension back in for the winter the toe-in look was gone and my winter tires showed no unusual wear patterns.

i lowered the car a little more this year then last year and doing the rear suspension mod seemed to have fixed the rear toe-in issue. the new rims and tires i have mounted show no unusual wear as of yet and there is no toe-in look.
