I really not sure, but I really dont get much milage out of any...Iv went through 1 set of Kdw2, 2 sets of Nexens, and just purchased g-force Sports. Iv only had to replace the fronts once and that was this time around.

Alignment gets done after mounting....i dont know. I figured it was just because they are stickier tires they wore out quicker...but $600 every 3-4 months in tires really kinda sucks.

I dont know how many miles you drive, but rears last almost everyone ~10k miles AT LEAST. Heck, the owner of my car before me had 19k miles on S02's! (Which I readily admit is a freakish number on such tires.)

yea im coming up on 13K with my bridgestones. How many miles have you driven in the last year. I guess we could do an average of that. Something definitly sounds wrong if your not driving a crazy amount of miles though.

Are the tires wearing evenly across the tread? If not then it probably is an alignment or possibly inflation issue. If so it could be unusually coarse pavement where you drive.

I've never gotten less than 10K except for a puncture.
