Front tires wearing WAY to fast???
I have a 06 Accord & the front (Bridgestone Turanza treadware 300) tires are wearing really bad, all the way accross not just on in or outside of tire. Its not being driven as a race car, more of the family car. Car only has 15k on it but tires have had to be rotated 4 times already due to the over wear on the front tires. Please any answers would help since the dealership hasn't given one for ti besides that it just happens. 
Is there anything that anyone of you can think of that might be causing this????

I put Tein S-Tech springs on my '06 V6 coupe MT last summer and went to have it aligned at a "reputable" shop. They did a shitty job. Had no idea how to adjust the toe and camber kit with the new springs present. I lived with it for the rest of the summer and suffered major wear on my rear tires due to the negative camber. This spring I went to a shop specializing in alignments and told them about my prior experience. They had a good laugh at the work the other shop did and fixed it up properly....
I realize you may not have lowering springs on your car, but the moral of the story is to get a second opinion on that alignment. The toe could be off.
cheers

i second that. a second align wouldnt hurt. when you get it done ask for a print out of the align a before and after. that way you can see if it was out of spec..

It's weird that it's wearing evenly across the thread, though. What are you speculating could be wrong w/the alignment? If total overall thrust were off, the tyres would have feathered by now and have wear that would be indicative of the front end fighting the rear end for control.
