Warranty for premature ware on stock Bridgestones

I read that in a forum. Does anybody know anything about a warranty for prematurely worn tires from Bridgestone? I have a little over 11,000 miles on my coupe and I already need new tires soon.

i don't think so.... the tires are a wear and tear item, you will be replacing them. also, that's what people have been saying about the tires, they don't last that long. good luck

I knew they wouldn't last very long. I am used to getting 20-25k miles on my tires. So I figured I would get in the neighborhood of 15-18k .

Man I got almost 25K miles out of mine and they still have a decent amount of meat on them. Read the manual bro, I know they explain the tire warranty in there, towards the end of it if I'm not mistaken. I'm just not sure if you've surpassed the mileage or not. Are you dropped on anything?

Wow. Can you post up a picture of how they look? Are they all the way down to the bar things that go across the tire? (Sorry, having a brain fart right now and forgot what they're called)

I was stock and got 25k out of mine before I had to replace them, only because my camber was off and my tires were only wearing on the insides.

Driving habits and road conditions contribute a lot to the wear and tear of your tires. I think 15-20k is about normal for these tires.

No not the threads. They're called "safety bars" or something. They run perpendicular to the tread on the tire. When you hit those, it's time for new tires.
