tiresgetting used up WAY to fast!!
 
ok, just in august i bought 2 new sumitomo htr plus tires, 215/35 18", i dont drive hard on them and ive only put 10,000 miles on them and they are already almost done.... whats going on? i rotate them and i dont burn out and i drive pretty easy on them, theyre balanced and aligned so why are they getting used up so fast????

are you lowered ? And if so do you have a camber kit ?

Do you drive faster than the rated speed?

is it wareing on the inside or what? I suggest go get an alignment... you probably don't have a camber and its wearing hard... mine did....

You guys are overlooking one major thing....

They're cheap as ****. Buy some good tires and you'll see a lot more life out of them. I have around 19,000 miles on my Continental ContiExtremes, and they've still got 5/32nd treadlife left. And I drive them hard as ****. Cheap tires don't really seem like that good of a value now, don't they?
