i didn't rotate my tire for the last 16k miles, and my front driver side tire looks like it was slashed. i drove the tc until it was too late, I had to change to the donut on the Garden State Parkway. I only have 37k miles on those tires.
Have anyone else too lazy to rotate tires got this problem?






Both of my front tires lost all the treads toward the inside. Looks as if something was rubbing it. But my suspension was stock . Wheels and tires are also stock.


Here is a pic of my rear wheel. They look fine.

Dude, what were you thinking? You can rotate your own tires with the provided jack in about 20 mins. I rotate mine every 5K. Sometimes I do it, sometimes America's Tire Co. does it. (For FREE! ) About the wear; that looks like a camber issue. Even though you're on a stock suspension, if you do not rotate properly that wear can happen.

Now I'm really scared for you. Didn't you just get some Bronze 5Zigens? Please tell me when you put those bad boys on your tC that you will rotate accordingly? I'd hate to see a nice set of 5Zigens go down the toilet because of neglect.

my front right looked like that... but i rotated my tires. which was weird.. i, fortunately got new tires before i had to use my spare..my dad blamed it on me lowering the car. now i can prove to him that wasnt it seeing you were on stock suspension.

I was too lazy and i am an idiot. lesson learned the hard way.
i never thought not rotate tires would cause this.

Hyghgynx--->i will never repeat this mistake again with my 5zigen wheel.

Joes06tC--> so i wasn't the only one with tire looks that. I was afraid something might be rubbing. but me and my dad look very hard, and can't find anything. i got under the car, and he turn the steering wheel left and right to see if the tires hit anything. They got a lot clearance since my suspension was stock.

omg!!! Look at how bald those tires are.yes lessoned learned. listen to ur maintenance man.

Seriously, I can get both tires off the ground by putting the stock jack by one of the 'arrow' spots on the panel. (I believe it's the rear 'arrow' if I'm not mistaken.) It's supa easy; untighten lugs, jack up car, rotate tires, lower car, tighten lugs. Same for the other side.

You're lucky it didn't pop when you were going ***** out. It would have sucked to loose control and possibly flip your ride. Not trying to preach, just want you to know that 20 mins out of your life can save you (and possibly others) from serious danger.

That tire is as bald as a bald tire

I rotate my tires every 2000 miles, better safe than sorry

Actually, that is normal wear on that tire when you dont rotate it. Thats why you rotate. Please rotate from now on, everyone. No excuse for being lazy

Lucky you didnt hydroplane/skid into a wall in wet weather with those drag tires.
