What is the cold air pressure reading in each front tire? Do you have AT or 6MT? Sounds like classic under inflation.

Jawman... I have a 2002 Ford Crown Vic LX Sport with Turanza EL 42s. Prior to the ELs I got 46,000 miles on Goodyear Eagle GTs. The 42s are at almost 16,000 miles with premature wear showing on the inside 1" of tread on three of the four tires. Tires have not been rotated. The tread across the tire is even and at about 8/32s. The inside of the front tires is at 4/32s. The 1 inch tread area travelling around the inside perimeter of the tire steps up to three different levels then drops back to the lowest level and steps up again, repeating the three step process around the perimeter of the tire. Each area that stair steps up corresponds to the individual tread pad, and looks unlike any premature tread wear symtoms that I've seen. The tire dealer wouldn't help. There are many complaints on the net about this tire and premature wear. There was also a recent class action lawsuit that was settled for premature wearing EL 42 RFTs.
