need new tires already??? your alignment could be screwed up, or the dealer might not be rotating the tires at regular intervals. Also, you could be driving like a psycho, but i would think they should last longer than they have.

have you been getting really bad milage? what about the tred? was it worn uneven or anything?

i've just been trying to figure out my poor milage, and someone presented the idea of alignment... just curious to see if there is a connection.

My front tires are almost fully bald, need replacing soon, but the car has 17K miles on them.

Nope tire wear is normal and milage is normal also. Guess I just need to stop smoking boxes.

I will not be upset if these noisy Bridgestone stock tires retire early. That would justify replacement.

I got 20,000 miles on those stock 185 Goodyears regularly rotated... Those tires screeched too much.

Smoking boxes, eh? :P must be a better driver because thats all it will come down to with a mere 40lb difference, and a similar drag coefficient (yes, thats true... they're pretty close..) xA's aren't really any faster than an xB...

Anyhow, I would assume that the toe in is a little off on your car, it will track straight, yes, but they will wear very soon and you will get less MPG.

Have the alignment checked, the first ones free I heard -- I had an alignment done on mine, and they made it worse... hahaha

LOL.. Sorry I had to laugh.. Something about "smoking" a 17-second car struck me as slightly humorous. If you burned up a set of tires that fast, you need to learn how to not dump the clutch every time you get rolling.
