Who buys your new tires for you when you wear them out 40% earlier than necessary?


Not trying to argue, just curious where you get 40% from? On a FWD car & assuming your alignment is OK the fronts will wear faster but the rears will last longer. I've never done it, but I image if your alignment was ok that you could never rotate your tires & just buy 2 new ones when they go bald it would be no worse than a wash on a cost basis.

In before FWD cars are trashy.

I bought the lifetime R&B on mine. I take it about once a year. Only put 7-8k on it each year. Get the oil changed every 4k and every other oil change I have them rotate and balance.

Front tires will have uneven wear regardless of FWD or RWD.

Front wheels turn, back wheels don't

Yeah I actually do realize that. I feel the fronts wear even more on a FWD because those tires aren't just turning, but are also the ones with power & not the ones on the back just rolling along.
