your front tires may look fine, but that could be an illusion. turn your wheel all the way to the right or left and have a look at the inner part of the tire. you may find it is extremely worn.

As Boiler mentioned, you CAN rotate the tires from one side to the other if you have them flipped over on the wheels. This way, the tire will still be rolling in the correct direction, but the more worn "inner" side will now be on the outside of the wheel. This could easily add an extra 30% to the life of the tire.

Actually, you can switch the tires from side to side without remounting as long as you drive in dry conditions. I tried this and could not tell a difference in handling on the track. My lap times were identical.

Well, I received the two rear tires at my front door yesterday.
No problems at all
I had them mounted at the tire shop down the street and "Bridgette" is back to her old self. What a great deal Tire Rack is! I was even able to call them and keep track of which city my tires were in at any given time.
