stock tires almost bald at 7500 miles
Alright , i know the stock firestones suck, but I just rotated my tires at about 7400 miles and i noticed the front tires have barely anytread left. The back, which i rotated to the front, look good but the ones that were on the front are awful. Stock tires, sucking or not, should last longer than 7500 miles. They dont need replacing yet but they will need replacing before 15,000 miles most likely and thats insane. Anyone else had this problem?
Me dad had this problem on one of our nissan's we used to have (which also had firestones) and he raised hell at the dealership untill they gave him new tires. His went out at 12,000 miles.
Another problem is that Firestone has no warranty as far as miles.
Thanks

What are your driving habbits? Hard acceleration, fast stops, aggresive cornering, tire pressure can all play a big roll in how your tires wear. In your case I will say you do a lot of hard accelerating, not spining the tires, but taking off fast. My boss does the same thing with his truck and had about an 1/8" of tread left on his rear tires after about 11,000 miles, the fronts were like new, not even worn.

Rep Power: 322 Yes. I drive fast and corner fast but anymore than most people. Plus, Me and my dad examined my tires and if it was tire pressure or from cornering, the tread would not have been evenly worn like it is. I want rims and tires but cannot afford them now and dont want to have to buy new tires right before i upgrade to 17's (hopefully).

Rep Power: 0 I have close to 15,000 miles on my civic and I drive normally and my firestone tires are just about bald. Good thing im getting rims for my B-day. Now I will burn what remains of my tires just for the hell of it.
