    Exclamation Think I need to change my tires???

    I am wondering what the hell could have caused this cuz it looks horrible. Some are down to the thread and some are just ripping rubber out. Damn Toyos.

    Check this out and let me know what could have caused it besides alignment...I just alignment done like 9k miles ago.

    I got bad luck with tires...the stock tires wore out by 10 k miles and blew out...now these have 20k hopefully my next set will be more than 30k.

    Sounds like you might want to change those intervals.

    I had the same problem on my 04 accord, my tires when i got the car brand new, the fronts lasted for 7k miles, till they were shot. However, it was even overall wear though. I recently got a new full set of bridgestone potenza g009s, 65k warranty, and very grippy. Ive driven about 3k on them, and theres like no difference between then and now, its cool.

    Well i work at discount tire. And if you guys are wondering why u are going through the stock tires so fast, its bc believe it or not tire companies make the tires differently for new cars. Yea they have the same tread design and look, but a different compound so they wear out faster. This way u go back and get more, 40% of people buy the stock tire. Most of the wear on the tire looks like alignment, but also looks like its seperating. Oh and yea its an FZ4. Id look into some kumho SPT's
