Ok I just got my xa in april and I allready need new tires infront. is that regular time or am I driving my lil car too hard? How long did it take you guys to get new tires?

 

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.

 

Theyve been wearing normal guess ive just been running too much .

 

indy tire sayz they are 40,000 mile tires costs areound $97.90 a tire

hey i gotta keep that stock look with a matching set of rubber

 

u must drive a lot......and hard.....

 

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.

 

How many miles have you driven and have your tires worn evenly? If you would like to review the selection of tires we have available for your vehicle, please click on the following link:

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? 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.
