Low tire pressure will accelerate tire wear, just like on your golf cart....

JMO, but you may want to get a better-rated/constructed tire. That tire starts at 8.5/32 tread depth, which is one of the lowest I've seen. I just bought tires that had an 11/32 tread. You need to replace tires at 3/32. While 14k miles driven is not a lot, if the tire is not aq good tire, that number of miles will wear the tire down to 3 or 4/32 pretty quick.

Really? So if you rotate your tires they don't wear out? Must be magic!
I never rotated tires on cars owned between 1980 and 2020, 40 years. . . and I did 20K + miles per year. . . The only result from rotation is even wear between front and back. . . If you don't rotate, you don't buy 4 tires at once. . . There is a wear ratio between front and back. . they wear out at different rates. you can't change that factor. CoachK's all wheel drive got hit by lightning while parked in a tstorm. Blew out the sensors to keep the front and back tires rotating at the same RPMs. . . rear wheels wore out significantly faster, like 2x and got 35K on a 60K tire. . also Michelin LTX. Front wheel drive cars also have about a 3x wear factor on the front than the back. . . If you don't rotate, the rear tires easily get 1.5 x the rated mileage life for just getting towed along.

What a beautiful story. You have to be kidding. If the sidewall’s were goofed up because of the brutal heat of the summer that would be believable but roundabouts wearing tires down that quickly, that’s the leading joke of 2023 so far.

All I can say is rotate your tires every oil change. Keep the tire pressure where it is supposed to be. Florida roads get very hot it does heat up the rubber on the tires quicker and they don’t make tires last like they used to. But don’t fall for their scams about needing new tires so quickly

You're front tires do all the turning thus causing more wear on the outer edges. You clearly need to slow down while going through the RABs or take the roads without the RABs

Wear at inside and edges = too low Wear at the center = too high (Wear at the outside edges mostly = squealung around those roundabouts at 50 mph.) |

On my Ford F-150, I replaced the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT tires at 55,000 miles. Those tires were "rated" for 50,000 miles. They were not completely worn out, but it was time for a change. I religiously rotated those tires every 5,000 miles...each time the vehicle went in for an oil change. You should also remember that most, if not all, tire manufacturers require tires to be rotated at specified intervals (usually every 5,000 miles or so), or the tire warranty is voided. Also, all vehicle manufacturers recommend tire rotation as part of regular service. Again, certain warranty claims can be negated by failing to follow basic service requirements. In my opinion, failing to rotate vehicle tires on a regular basis is unwise and potentially unsafe. Then again, I am often amused at the antics of the "hold my beer and watch this" crowd! |

Soft rubber compounds are great for handling, but wear quickly. Low tire pressure also plays a factor. Your car probably has both.

First thought. Front end alignment needs to be checked.
