Replaced two Toyo T1R after only 15K miles
Got a nail in one tire, turns out the inside tread was gone, and not covered under the warranty.
Tire shop says that that alignment needs to be perfect, or you will get uneven tire ware, like this. The centers had lots of tread left.
Anyone else seeing wear like this also?

I'd love to get 15k on set of tires. Best I've got so far is 8k on (summer high-performance) tires even with repeated alignments. Dealer comped me one set on warranty but that’s it as far as he's concerned. Poor suspension geometry, poor roads and a lead foot don't mix. Thank your lucky stars you get 15k.

I have 9700 miles on my TL (purchased new 7-28-06, I drive too many miles!) and my 245/40r18 T1R's still have quite a bit of tread left and wearing evenly; I had the same tires/rims on an Accord (auto) for 7,000 miles previous to the TL, and they're still holding up great. Must be all the highway driving that makes them last for me.
