Default Re: tires worn out at 18,000 miles
no tires are as good as they used to be,, the rubber quality is crap compared to the old days,, and thats a fact..
even michelins aren't nearly as great as they used to be

i got 80k out of my first mich on my corolla (1994) , i put the same tires on it again in 1998 and oly got 40k out of them... oh i also did new struts and alighment at the same time.. so that alone tells me there nothing like they used to be..

dunlops, bridgstones, goodyears, and continetals all wear fast on these cars.. most avalons and camrys with michelins blow through tem in 30-40k.. thats crap in my opinion..

got nothing to do with toyota, the tire companies just stink...

i just buy cheap tires now.. i would rather pay 60$$ for a tire and have in last 2 years than 120 for a mich that last 3 years...
