On my third set of tires in the 40k miles that I've owned the vehicle. It seems I can only get, if I'm lucky, 15-18k out of a set of tires.
I've recently rebuilt the front end (UCA's, struts, BJ's, sway bar links, tie rods). I also had it aligned yet again after changing out the above. Still, the tires wear!
It's like the vehicle is too heavy or something and just wears the tires away. I am in no way a "maniac" driver, cornering at high speeds, jackrabbit takeoffs, etc. I just can't figure this out!
Continental - 18k
Pirelli Scorpion - 15k
Goodyear on now with about 7k and they're getting thin....no way will make the 55k rating...
Anyone else have tire wear problems?
