Yesterday I stopped at Sumter tire, because I had a low tire warning signal. A nice lady there aired up all my tires, then shocked me by saying the front tires were worn down to something that told her I needed new tires. I said there's hardly any miles on these tires, then she asked if I go around the roundabouts a lot. My other car, for years is an F-350 crew cab 4x4..... it gets new Michelins around every 100,000 miles. Needing new tires in 24,000 miles makes no sense to me, and if the roundabouts cause it, what about the back tires, they go around them too. Does this make any sense to anybody?

Yes roundabouts wear tires as do any corners. But if your low tire light came on it means you were driving on under inflated tires for awhile, also you have put about 25000 miles on your car sooooo those tires should have been rotated at least 4 times. Your problem is caused by lack of due diligence on your part. Check the air pressure monthly rotate every 6000 and your tire will last longer and wear evenly. Also don't forget to have the alignment checked. Happy motoring
