I had to repace my tyres at 36,800 k as the edges were badly worn but not the centres. I very regularly checked the pressures in them. The new Bridgestones have done just under 10,000k and show bad signs of feathering on the edge once again, despite being rotated, balanced and wheel align done at 5,000 k's and due again. Went back to Bob Jane where I bought them from yesterday and was told that was 'normal' wear and to keep up the rotations etc and that 36,000 k out of my old ones was doing well and the new ones were doing 'well' also despite the feathering edges. So 1 year out of 4 x $400 tyres? 7-8 wheel alignments and balances (every 5,000k) in the lifetime of the tyre adds up to a lot of $$$ or the price of 1 tyre in the 1 yr I expect to get from them. I asked about the Hankook or Toyos and they advised that I would get even less mileage out of those and that some were only getting 18,000k from them. Am I just being jerked around here? What are peoples experiences with other tyres after they have done around 10,000 k's or more on them? Thanks
