It actually "snowed" here a few days ago but it was late so I didn't have time to take my car out for a spin. Haha

^ photo is actually one of the OP's own pics, taken from another thread.
I just found some light irony in him posting about tire wear, shortly after he had posted up pics of him having some parking lot fun.

lmfao weeyari
that was basically the first and only snow fall we have gotten this year and i had to have some fun. as for tire pressure i checked it the other day and it was at about 25, so i topped it up and put it to 35.

Check your previous service records.
A to-do item in every service is 'Examine tires for damage and wear, check & adjust pressure. Rotate tires if needed.' Since I assume you are following Toyota recommended maintenance schedules, chances are your tires have been rotated, even though you claim you've not done it yourself.

i have seen it say check tires for wear and pressure but the other day when i finally checked it myself i could tell it hasnt been checked since i got my car.
but u are correct they may have been rotated. i will check my records they may have been rotated before

I have the bridgestone insignias on mine (were on there when I bought the car) and I hope they wear out fast because they have the worst traction in rain than any other tire I've ever driven on. You can't go past half throttle in the rain at all or you'll loose traction. I'm actually thinking about buying new tires even though mine are at 7/32's.

I have BFG All terrain and from a dead stop in the rain I can spin them easy. I stopped on a hill last week and actually got the front end sideways. The 5 speed will spin without trying. I believe it has more to do with the light weight of the car rather than the tires.

Nobody in there right mind would invest in replacement Goodyear LS's.
Start studying the alternatives. None could be any more useless.

so i removed my tires to put on my winters and i took this pictures of the rear wheel. the front wheels were worn fairly evenly (a tiny bit more of the inner wheels but nothing drastic) as for the rears, the outter edges of the wheels were used drastically more then the inner edge. i dont know exactly what this meas but it was so bad they wouldnt stand up straight on there own.

Hi,
I think you should accept the barber's offer of 14 inches tires. In this way you can save money also as you stated, a lot of bills have to be paid yet, so its better to get these tires and i hope this would be a good deal. thanks

Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles and tire pressure should not be over 37psi for optimal tire life. Sometimes the repair facility will recommend more frequent rotations to generate more profit per visit which will cause premature tire wear.

I personally work in the auto industry. Sometimes tire rotations are sold when they are not necessary which wears out tires prematurely. If you stick to the auto industry standard (6,000 miles) you will achieve the best average tread life. For example: if Mr Jones comes in for a service at 3,000 miles (oil change tire rotation). after that he waits 3 months but only drives 1000 miles and then receives a letter/phone call from the dealer/repair facility that it is time for the next service (i.e. 12 month or 10,000 mile service). The customer comes in and performs the 10,000 mile service 4,000 miles to early. if this trend continues his tires will be worn out before 20,000 miles
