hey guys. I had put a set of tires on my car in june, balanced and alligned. I had the car alligned once since then, and rotated 4 times. I got 205/55/16's on older set of Z24 rim's, there like allum 4 spoked. anyways my tires are pretty much worn out,, no real hard driving or miss using. I only got 22,000 km's to them. what's wrong. no wheelbearing's or ball joints gone. any idea's?
did they have a good tread wear rating?
I may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
ya they are wearing pretty even, i';m not sure of the rating.. but i'm sure it's more then 22,000 km's.
if they're evenly worn, and have a decent tread wear rating sounds to me like youre just too hard on your tires. DO you go to the track or autocross often?
what brand tires are they? cuz the set i had on my Z wheels after gettin new tires this week.. the ones before only lasted about 15000 miles.. they might have a spring season left on em.. bout it.. there some unheard of brand. Lee Steel Tread or something like that.. cheap tires.. overall good traction.. just crappy tread wear.. So that could be very well ur problem.. now i bought some Michelins with like 80000 mile warrenty on em.. theyll prolly outlast the car most likely
i just got 8,000 miles off my 2month old gt radials "coopers" and there smooth as a glass... i went to kost tire and they told me i need an alignment, i was pissed they didnt tell me before i bought them they tell me after there bald... figure that out.. so i got 2 Kuhmos for 55bucks an i got some crapy wallyworld brand tires for the back you think thats good an im getting a front end alinment tommorow....
