New Tires Already?
Yeah my tC came with the S32A and they suck. I just turned 23K and I have 3/32 tread on the rear 2 and 2/32 on the front, so I have to get new tires very soon as well. My wife only has 17k on her tC and we are going to replace hers when i get mine in Jan. We have only had the tc's for about a year and a half. If I knew what i know now about the tires I would have replaced them with in the first few months of getting the tC.

Just think about it. If Toyo recommends it for the Proxes4's then yeah, there's something to it.

Stock tires are ALWAYS terrible. You can always get better life, better grip, and cheaper price from something else.
I got 40k out of Fuzion ZRi's, and they grip LOADS better than the stock RE92, at half the price.

So I guess my question is has anyone here had this experience or had the suggestion to replace the tires after a year of use and 20k miles? Or does it appear that this guy is trying to rip me off? I am going to get a second opinion from a buddy of mine, but just wanted to check with the people here first. Oh, and these are the factory Yokohama tires that came with the car in case that matters.
