I have been going through rear tires in an average of 3 months (good tires). They wear completely across pretty evenly. Does anyone know what this could be from, or gas anyone else experienced this. I have an 05 LS V8 with xcal and intake. I drive slightly more aggressive than most, but NEVER race or peel out. Three months is just rediculous to go from new to bald. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pick a tire with longer treadwear?

I second that. Also, if you believe it isn't the tires themselves, then go get it aligned at a nearby shop for less than $75 to double check.

+1 to the tread wear. 220 280 are pretty low. Lower # = faster tread wear with better grip. higher # = slower tread wear with less grip. All of that is thrown out if you

may want to also have the rear toe checked... That could potentially cause uniform, increased wear.

Yea, sounds like a decent set of all season tires and an alignment are in your future. Keep an eye on tire pressure too.

Youd be surprised how long those crappy tires can last. The ones on mine are rated 360 tread wear. That's about a 30k mile tire. I got just over 10k, and I burned them all the time.

Thanks for the help everyone, I will invest in some longer tread life tires, and make sure I get an alignment. I was just wondering if I was the only one having these issues.
