PSA: get your cars aligned.

I hadn't has one in a while, so I went by my trusted shop today to find that my front tires were like this /\

The rear was off too.

Damn pot holes, save your tires and get your cars aligned boys and girls.

Thank you, now back to the Golden Girls Reunion.

I also highly recommend regular oil changes!

I have had many Camaro's and Firebird's and they kept chewing up tires even with regular alignments. I had Supra and never aligned it through 122K miles and I have never aligned my RL 118k miles. Never had tire issues with either car that was made in Japan - coincidence?
BTW - just changed original battery on my 05 RL.

Japanese cars are superior to all! Even their tires and suspension systems are more reliable! Especially the 350Z!

What's funny is I have a Camaro, I actually aligned it myself at my auto tech school (read: amateur) and it has had the same tires for 2 years and counting now, with no irregular tire wear either. It is very easy to knock a car out of alignment, and tire wear is dependent on many, many factors.

I also compensated for road crown, so on the freeway I can let go of the steering wheel and it'll be perfectly straight and stay in the same lane for quite a bit
