I had two Mitchelan tires installed in May and two installed in June. These were Pilot Sport A/S 3. The two that I had installed in June have 7/32 of rubber left and these two are on the front. These tires have 16,000 miles on them.

The two that I had installed in June had thread cord showing in the outer section of the right rear and the left rear had 3/32 thread left. These tires had 14,000 miles on the

Who is using what tires and what type of mileage are you getting out of them?

I thought a 2000 XK8 Jaguar was hard on tires having to replace them at 20,000 miles. I thought a Caddy would be much better but it's either the tires or the car just eats them.

I'm not much of a spirited driver, no jack rabbit starts and not many twisty roads, I've really taken care of this XLR. I have an 88 Vette for spirited driving.

Thanks a lot!
 
I installed a set of these last April and have had no adverse issues. They still look new, although I've only amassed 7500 or so miles on them to date. Each tire has looked fine at rotation time. Michelin has a pretty strong warranty... perhaps your tire dealer/source could be of some assistance with the premature wear issues.
