Default Bought PS2 tires less than 6k miles ago and they're shot

Possibility that TireRack will refund? I'm thinking these are defective tires. I switched from S03s to these and I haven't been happy with them at all (did not like them as much when they were new)

The tires are worn on the outer edges only but pretty bad.

Outer edges would tend to indicate hard cornering or an alignment issue. However, if you feel these might be defective, contact my customer service/warranty dept at 1-800-428-8355, ext 360, and they'll walk you through the process. There is no wear warranty on the PS2, but they might have some other assistance to offer.

Default I agree with Gary, if more than one of the tires has a problem, alignment issue

Either toe or camber out of whack.

Default thank you. I am going to get the car re-aligned and see how "off it was"

I'm going to investigate if it was caused by a bad alignment before calling you guys, seems like the smartest approach.


Thanks gary.

Default one of the two has to be out of wack due to my suspension

But my tech told me that the issues caused by non-adjustable arms would cause the opposite of the wear that I am experiencing.

Opinions?

Default I think that fact is greater than theory ;-)

I'm guessing he meant that you'd have too much camber. Even with extra camber, if you have a bad toe in the outsides will wear first.

Default Gary I had a similar issue with my PS2's...

had the alignment checked and everything was within operating spec. Michelin sent me to 2 different places and in the end told me I was SOL. Kinda pissed me off, great tire, just doesnt last long.
