this is my THIRD set of these tires, anyone else noticing how fast they wear?

 

Why not try another brand? Especially if your car is just a daily.

 

Third time means you're insane. Might wanna get that checked out.

 

They are a FANTASTIC tire! The grip the A13C's offer comes at the expense of a shorter life compared to tires that last longer, but offer less grip. What's more important to you?

Here's a virtually new set for sale if you're looking for another set:

definitely a fantastic tire, not doubting that. The grip is phenomenal, was just seeing if people were having a similar problem with them

 

im thinking it might be an alignment issue

 

are they wearing evenly? also you didnt mention how much miles you get out of them.

 

Im having some new tires put on mine this Tuesday (12K miles). All my tires are cupping on the inside. Today, I noticed that the L front tire is completely smooth on the inside! All the others still have grooves. The mitsu dealer in Shreveport has no alignment services and I think theyre the ones who messed up my alignment when I had my tires rotated there. One of my wheel bolts were loose from the hub and I don't know how they got it out but since then my tires started cupping really bad. I purchased the Firestone Firehawks all season tires and I will have it aligned at that shop (Firestone Complete Care Center). I hope they don't mess it up. Has anybody tried these firehawks? They had some good reviews.

 

I killed my stock Advans in 10,300 miles, and that's with correcting the factory alignment!

 

do you go to don herring for services? Thats where i bought my MR

 

I killed my original Advans in 5 minutes of drifting. I'd say it was worth it. My wife - with whom I share a bank account and don't have a pre-nup - does not agree.

 

the Advans are known for being a bit soft. continental has the DWS tires, which may interest you

 

If you never face heavy rain, 'Kook R-S3s are slightly better than DWSs, IMO, and are cheaper.

 

I squeezed 13K miles out of the stock Advans, but honestly I should have replaced them at 10-11K. They were practically bald when I replaced them.

 

Oh by the way I went from Advan to DWS. You lose a lot of steering response and the car feels squishy at first, like you are driving on balloons, really kills some of the fun of the car. But you get used to it, I've already forgotten what the Advans were like. The DWS performs very well on rain and snow from personal experience. For summer I want to switch to Michelin Super Sports, has almost twice the tread wear rating as the Advans I think.
