THE FRONT TIRES WEAR QUICKLY ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. BOUGHT VAN NEW AND WITHIN 5,000 MILES THE FRONT TIRES WERE BALD ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF BOTH TIRES. ALIGNMENT WAS CHECKED AND DETERMINED TO BE IN SPEC. ROTATED TIRES TO BACK AND NOW ROTATED TIRES EXHIBITING SAME WEAR PATTERN. TIRES WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO WEAR ON OUTSIDE EDGE AND LOOSE TRACTION IN WET WEATHER. *TR

AT 9K MILES THESE BRIDGESTONE TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE WALLS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT! WE HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST 10K MILES!
