let's see... you state that the tires were on their last breath then you say you got lowered and the result was misalignment (possibly) and now the tires are gone with PATCHES of baldness on the inner tires (which suggests misalignment). wow... i think what you meant to say was i'd never buy set of advans with 9k on them from MYSELF.

Well you get what you pay for I guess. Isn't 600 the going rate for almost mint advans on this forum?

Why didn't you spend a bit more and get ones with less milage.

I got 15k on my tires before I changed so 9k is almost at the end of its life.

Yeah, It was a convience of the "exchange". no delivery, and THE PHOTOS LOOK GREAT!! Ie tires off the rims LOOK DIFFERENTLY than with air in them! I didn't know that, hence this "BE CAREFUL" thread.
