15k and mine are almost bald, at least I have even wear. Going to try and steal a pair of conti's or something from ebay.
any suggestions on a better tire???

I had to get mine realigned within of 2 weeks of buying it. My service rep said almost everyone purchased at the dealership had do get it done within a month of purchase. Warranty coverd it.

Just had my oil changed and I'm told that at 17K+ all I have left on my tires is 4/32's all the way around!! That's bull s%it I m old and I don't burn the tires like I did when I was young. These OEM tires are junk SOB's and I'm pissed I now have to buy new tires and the car isn't even a year old yet.

I have 22k and will be looking at full relacement before winter. I am not impressed with these tires. I hope some more tire choices exist for me come time for replacement.

Unfortunately DC decided on a very odd size and the pickins are slim for replacement tires, the awful Pirelli P6 is on the list along with the Contis. What a shame these European brands are no good. I have not found a Bridgestone, Yoko, or Michilen in our size.

Since when does not lasting long equate to bad? Not lasting long means sticky (well, not always, but often).

235/65 is too tall, over 30" stock is 28.6, 235/55 is smaller at 28.1", makes that gap look even bigger.
