Do you have a receipt that states the mileage of the car when the tires were mounted? Did you buy the tires from a Bridgestone dealer? You should be able to get something from Bridgestone, and I would start from the dealer and have call their supplychain for the tires.

Is the tire wear even of more worn on a particular side of the tires? Alginment issues will show uneven w/ excessive wear vs. just even wear. E-brakes and bearings shouldn't increase wear on the tires.

If your dealer isn't helpful, try going to a Direct Tire or store like that and see what they can do. Maybe you could tell them that you'll do an alignment from them after they replace the tires?

I bought the tires on the S2k website..and I had Scott from the boards put them on..because he took my old ones. So I am talking to someone now..but he thinks that it is because my alignment is off...and its not and its even wear all the way. So I don't know what will happen at this point.

Wow. this is too bad. I got about 8500 miles on my garage queen and the rears look about half done. I am sure I will get another 8500 before needing replacements.

I did one autocross and when I drive I don't burn tires but I do drive agressive. Hope it works out for you.
