Hey guys I need help asap. Im getting my tires replaced after just 10,000 miles since buying the car and I was told they were new when I bought it Certified Preowned. They were bridgestone all seasons. What could be causing them to wear so fast, they are basically slicks right now its bad. My tire pressure is always 32psi just like it says on the door. Any help would be good guys I wanna get this figured out before I take it to my mechanic.

 

You need to give us a lot more information!

How are the wearing unevenly? on the inside? outside? the middle of the tires? is it just the fronts? or all four?

is the car pulling to the left or right when you let go of the wheel? when was the last balancing done on the tires? etc

You said the car is preowned? How many miles do you have on the car right now total?

Its going to be hard to give you a definitive answer since your not the original owner of the vehicle and we will have no way of knowing what the first owner did or did not do in regards to maintenance, how he drove the car, etc!

 

I know im actually uploading pics right now four you guys, they are wearing evenly, got it with 25,000 miles on it and now its at 36,549. Alignment is perfect it does not pull. I have not had them balanced since I got it. Hold on here are the pics...

 

 

First of all, wrong forum. Should be in Tires or Problems.

FYI, "pull" is not a good way of determining if your alignment is in/out of spec.

However, alignment problems usually lead to uneven wear.

Which tires are wearing?

There is a TSB for excessive, even wear on the rear tires, but it doesn't cover 2006 TL:

All four are worn more then they should be, am I wrong to think that tires on this car should last more then 10,000 miles?

 

looking at the tread it looks like the Bridgestone Turanza EL42's which in the opinion of many on this forums, are junk. They don't ride nor grip well and don't last as long as they should. It looks like your alignment is slightly off since it's wearing at the outer edge when the stock camber is supposed to be slightly negative.

Get an alignment and be sure they print out a spec sheet with before and after for you!

 

Well, the problem is that you don't know this. According to your first post you were "told that the tires were new". If you don't know what the starting tread depth was, you don't know if the tires were new or not. They may have already had 10,000 miles on them. The EL42s are only lasting 20K-25K miles for most people. (I'm assuming these are EL42s?)

I don't know what (if any) tire guarantees there are for "Certified" Acuras.

Hope you haven't spent all of that graduation money just yet...

 

Have to agree with everyone else's assessment. With the kind of mileage these tires have on them, your lucky they lasted this long. The OEM Bridgestone's are one of the worst tires I ever had and most people concur.

Your alignment does look like it might be slightly off but the wear is pretty even a cross as you pointed out!

I think your best bet is to get a new set of tires! Just make sure that they are balanced on a hunter road force machine and I would recommend getting an alignment afterward just to have piece of mind that your new tires will start out with everything in their favor, proper balancing and a good alignment!

 

Moneys not an issue, I can afford the new tires im just stumped as to why they were so bad but since you guys say they are bad tires to begin with I guess thats prob the issue here. Im going either today or tomorrow for new ones, idk what kind yet ill let ya know.

 

Get the alignment BEFORE buying new tires to make certain that the suspension can be adjusted to OE specs. After alignment, get the new tires. Many to choose from, but take a look at the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S plus in 245/45-17.
