low tire life. why?
i have a set to bridgestone Potenzas RE750 in a 225/50 16 on my turbo II rims. i run about 32-39 psi depending on what kind of driving im doing. no what i dont get is how a tire that claims a 340 treadware can only last form october till now. i have been able to neerly watch the tread die on these tires. whats up? these tires are almost dead.

i just got an alignmet a lil while back and one when i got the tires on the car. dont they normaly check the toe when they do those or do they only do camber.
and i havent even put 10,000 on these tires yet and they are almost dead.

They probably did set your toe during the alignment. Do you happen to have the alignment sheet, where they tell you what they set it to? Sometimes they have to make compromises if the suspension is worn (or lowered, etc.) and they can't get everything to meet the factory specs.
Is it just the inside of the rear tires? Be more specific about which tires are wearing, and what part of the tread is wearing.

well its really the entire tire. it is wearing evenly just verry fast. much faster than i thought they would. i got them because of the 340 tread wear and i thought they would last me at least a year. but after 6 months i am almost to the tread limiter. do you think it is possable i got a bad set somehow?
