I went to go do my tire rotation today and noticed that my back tires are just about bald, and the fronts aren't far behind. My mileage is just over 19k and that just seems way too early to me to have bald tires.

So what kind of mileage are you all getting with the A-Spec tires? Are they really that bad? And why would the backs be worse than the fronts? I always thought front wheel drive cars had more wear on the fronts. Could my alignment be that much off from the A-spec tire/suspension? Does the dealer realign the car when they make the swap?

I'll probably be getting some 245/40/18's for the replacements. Any suggestions? I'm looking for longevity more than anything here! This is rediculous.

Thats about right, I have heard less if you drive hard. The service manager at my dealership said he has seen less than 10K with proper alignment

Damn...that's crazy. I definitely need to find some that last longer now. Seems like the Kumho Ecst ASX might be a good choice.

Got 18800 before a blow-out yesterday on I-5 in L.A. in front of Disneyland! I am so pissed! All my tires are bald!

Damn...that sucks! Did anything else get damaged in the process?

I get about 12k out of mine before they become so loud I need to throw them away. This is my 2nd summer with the A-spec and a set of tires usually last me from April-Dec.
