Do you have an alignment issue? My Shinkos last a lot longer than that.
Larry . That is a possibility. I do need to check that. Thanks.

Everyone should know that tread isn’t useful for roads today. Buy a Firestone style ANS tire. You will enjoy them immensely.

No problems with my Shinkos.

Front seem to last forever.
