Replacing my rear ES100's 245/45R16 after approx 7 months and 7000 miles or wear.....

Did I do something wrong to wear them out this fast?
I was running them at 30-32 PSI.

What kind of mileage are you guys getting out of these in the rear?

All Discount Tire can say is they wear out fast becasue the car is RWD and they will make me a good deal of $190 for 2 replacments.

NEW REAR TIRES EVERY SIX MONTHS? I DON'T THINK SO!!

What the heck is going on here? My S02's lasted longer!

Change your toe in on the rear and you will get longer tread life.

Mine have around 8k miles on the rears and there is half-tread left and I don't drive slow either...the fronts still look like new.

my ES100s have been on since october and have appx 5000 miles. the tires have minimal tread left. my stock S02s lasted longer and provided better grip.
