I don't off-road in my H3 .. just street driving. (I know, I know...) Has anyone here, with normal street driving, had to replace tires already at 24k? |
Seems a bit soon. Did the do the Lincoln Penny check? Proper alignment and balance are important for your tires but I feel weekly pressure checks are even more important. Over & under inflation can cause very fast tire wear...
