How often have you had to replace the tires?
I'm curious to know how often everyone has had to replace their tires. My stepdaughters 2006 TC has gone through about 2 sets total, within about 42,000 miles. From 2006-2014, & I bought this new. We just got the 3rd set installed a couple days ago. Is this normal wear & tear?

Well that would depend, on the wear rating of the tires, if you get soft tires then they are going to wear faster. It also depends on if the car is in alignment or not. What wear rating are the tires? 200, 300, 400, 500 if they are in the 500 they should last around 40k miles. If they are rated high, and car is in alignment and only one of the tires is wearing out then maybe you have a wheel bearing or something going out.

I got mine in DEC 06 and I've gone through three sets of tires. I've lowered my car sometime in 2008 and been driving like that ever since. I'm on coilovers and different wheels now. On my stock wheels I've gone through three sets of tires. I'm on my first set with my new wheel setup.
