so if you don't do hardly any burnouts then that must mean you do a lot of burnouts right.
haha jk, but ya, rotating your tires would help.

well at his point its pointless to rotate the tires.
cuz if ur gonna put slicks in the back, your f***ed if it rains. and he stands a higher chance of a blowout since there is more negative camber in the rear than in the front.

I had the same issue. I had rotated my tires twice and still had to replace them around 15k. I think the snow and ice may have played a part in my quick tire wear.

well it actually depends on which tires you got with your car. with the all seasons or the summer tires which are michelin pilots. im at about 8.7 k and i already rotated my tires once.

if you have access to a lift daily, it wouldnt be a bad thing to rotate ur tires more often. I use a lift at my school autoshop and just by having that available, i can rotate them every 5 or 6k miles. Only take 15 minz tops so why not do it more often

i had to constantly rotate mine, but they still were gone by 30,000. the camber in the rear of the car seems bad. i have an si though, so i guess i couldn't have the same camber problem that the other models have...
