Default tire wear????? dealer says I need new fronts. What do you think and post your tires!!!
just picked up my car from it's second service. Car was great and dealer was awesome as usual (Rector Motor Car Co. in Burlingame, CA)!! The car and thus the tires have:

12,500 miles
0 track miles
12,354 fun miles

Driver side rear:

Driver side front:

I think I still have some miles. What do you think? What are your tires like??
