i have just changed two new front tyre in mid Apr and have now run about 7000km, buy the tyre already botak! i just noticed that becasue that day it was really slippery. Any sifu can advise why they are so fast worn out? I did not have this problem earlier. I asked around, some said the tyre too new (they are 0813) and some said is car suspension or alignment issue. but i tot alignement will only caused tyre to worn out at one side? my tyres are like worn out entirely. I changed the break disc and break pads and the tyres at the same time during Apr. Could that caused the problem? I also changed the suspension 2 weeks before changing the tyres. need help. thx.

There is definitely something wrong.
Is the tyre inflation correct ?
Car alignment and camber settings ?
Even with my hard style of driving, my tires can last on average 20, 000 km.
Mind you, that is quite bad already .
Applies to both my 18 inch tires on inspira and 17 inch on my 320i.

Applies to both my 18 inch tires on inspira and 17 inch on my 320i. inflation is the usual around ~31 pound. not yet check the alignment and camber but will it cause the tyres botak entirely? i tot it will only make it worn out at one side? really dont know what is happening.

Inflation sounds about right. You sure you got new tires and not some second hand refurbished ones ? What kind of tires are you using ? Should be those normal eco ones right ? 7000 is a bit much. Even going ulu yam every other weekend, couldnt kill my tires as fast as yours

Good year is just a brand. Whats the model and the exact size ? 15 / 185 / 60 ? These information should be on the tire itself. Whats your definition of botak ? totally no thread ? at 7000 ? Did you lend your car to a friend to do donuts ? >.<

Suggest that u go back to the shop for an inspection.
Tyres normally have a 3-yr warranty. If its bald within 4-mths of 7,000 km, something is either seriously wrong with your car or tyre.
When u mean bald, pls clarify. Bald on left side, right side or centre.

IMHO,
i think is nothing to do with your rims or car..
manufacturer defect.. every tyre company sure will have some defects on certain batches.
try to claim back with warranty.

You using stock waja rims ? not original rim. changed rim before. but the back two tyres are ok by the way, i remember the current back tyres were from the front before i moved them to the back. they have been at the front for about 3 months and now they are at the back. looks ok.
