i think they are 195 /55 / 15.
sorry i know very little about tyres. What is the difference between performance tyre and normal ones?
*


you can look at your tyre and the size is printed on it. Also the model is normally printed on it. Goodyear NCT5?? Goodyear GT3?? Goodyear Efficient Grip? Goodyear Assurance? Goodyear something?

I asked around, some said the tyre too new (they are 0813) and some said is car suspension or alignment issue.
*
too new tyre will cause tyre botak??? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif what kind of statement is that.
I think if alignment is too out, can cause the whole surface botak too. for example if your toe is very in like this /--\
Since you said you changed tyre (change 4 tyre?) and the back tyre are ok, then, sounds more like alignment problem to me??

from my view , tire pressure low
cos tire wear on both shoulder

at first look, i also think is tire pressure too low. cause yes tyre wear on both shoulder.

i pump gas to the tyres every month about 32psi.
*
I was going to say you never pump tyre maybe. but since you said you pump gas every month, then i suspect maybe your front tyres has unusual high rate of air leakage?? So maybe the valve got damage, or not properly installed, or something wrong that's cause high air leakage.

Maybe during tyre change, the shop did something improper, resulted in air loss very fast. OR, the tyre got defect, which resulted in air loss very fast.

i went to GY just now. The guy used some gauge to check and said material ok.
then lift up the car, see the tyres, although lef right center all worn out, but can see there are sharp edges on tyres (sorry dont know how to describe).
so he said the tyres seem more like sliding then rolling, so is kind of alignemnt issue.
thank you guys for all your sharing.

Got sharp edges on the tread? as in like in the image? user posted image

Then should be toe-in or toe-out problem, which maybe is the tyreshop's problem as they didn't do proper alignment for you. If its really their fault, then the tyreshop should replace tyre for you.. not GY.

Here's some more picture illustrating toe, chamber, caster to better equip you with knowledge on alignment issue to argue with tyreshop if you want.. lol.

they are wrong. period. even tyreman make the same mistake

the short answer is thatbasically you want more grip at the rear, especially when it rains. for FWD, lifting off result in oversteer, and imagine your rear breaking loose.
*
oh yes my bad. doh.gif doh.gif Good/new tyre at rear is easier for car to self align back to straight in the event of loss control, and less likely to over steer..

New tyre should put at rear. rclxms.gif

I have changed the front tyres . And now the steerling shake like crazy when speed reach higher than 80km per hour. Is this balancing problem?
I need to go to the shop agajn tomolo to complain.. I guess this is the last time I deal with ths shop.
*
shake did you mean the steering shake left right let right very fast? or the steering vibrate ..? ermm sorry i dunno how to describe lols tongue.gif . but i think should be more to vibrate, which is likely balancing problem. did you go back to da shop? how does it goes?

I have the same feeling. I choose this shop because it opens on sunday and I sometimes only free on sunday. I guess I have to look for another shop.
I also learned that the mechanics there have target to meet. They have to push customers to purchase or change spare parts. Mean their job is not only fix your car but also make sure you buy or change spare parts with them. So I believe they will push customers to change spare parts like suspension, rims, tyres, brake, even though the parts still can use so that  they can meet target.
I wonder are all shops like this? Or only this shop?

for my personal experience, i've went to 2 different tyre shop before, both also push me want to change this change that sad.gif . the first time i still noob, i changed "adjustable chamber nut" 2 piece for RM 160 doh.gif doh.gif . to me i felt kena con. They'll always always try to squeeze more from my wallet..
