I have a set of 185/65r14 on the other car in the driveway a 2010 accent.
I recently checked the tread depth and was astonished it was already down to 5/32 (starts at 10/32)
All tires are worn even within .5/32
These are a 90000mile rated tire. At the time I thought they had aprox 25000 miles on them.
I recently checked paperwork and subtracted the snow tire mileage and they have about 15000 miles on them
math below
current mileage 55600 - 35300(mileage tires were installed)
-snow tire mileage(2 winters totaling about 6000miles) = about 15000 miles
They also have very slight distortion showing up on the tread blocks like you sometimes see on tires that were overheated in Arizona or Texas.
Tire use is extremely easy. Commuting 13miles one way at a max of 55mph. Ohio weather is moderate
If wear continues these 90000mile tires will be down to 2/32 in only 24000 miles.
Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. The first couple reviews on tirerack have people ranting about the tires being "done" in under 30000 miles.
Will probably go see discount tire this fall about prorated credit and replacing them with some General altimax rt43's
Good news is the 70-73% Credit should pay for the replacement tires and hopefully I can stack with a rebate that will mostly cover install.
