Re: New tires at 24,000????
Which tires do you have? I have the Bridgestones and I have about 42,000 miles on them and never rotated them. They only look maybe half worn. I do know that the Goodyear's (I think RT/S) are horrible tires. I had them on my last truck and they were terrible in about every road condition, even dry pavement. They have pretty bad reviews on TireRack.com. I couldn't wait to get rid of them, but they still lasted about 40,000 miles. On my last truck I replaced them with Bridgestone REVO's, which are excellent tires.

Re: New tires at 24,000????
Does anyone know if the Goodyears that came with the '06 H3's MIGHT have had a recall? I looked at my tires more closely now and the two tires that WERE in front and rotated to the rear now have a weird pattern. It's the inside edges that have an approx 2 inch perfect tread, then 2 inches flattened, 3 inches perfect, 2 inches flattened, etc. ,etc. Both tires have the same pattern. I never had a problem with the front end .. it was only the rear where I had that grind sound (that is now coming back). Could this be a defect with the tires wearing that way? I'm now at about 26,000 miles. I asked the service writer at my dealer and was told they won't pro-rate ... or do a deal.

Re: New tires at 24,000????
My tires are wearing just fine at 33k with duelers and I had the grind/groan on and off since 12k. .I swear I hear it sometimes but then its silent 
Time to upgrade the tires .It sucks the dealer wont do something
Check Ebay for a take off set of 33 inch duelers you might get a deal
They ride the road good,do good offroad seem to be holding up well and they look better then the base tires.

My Goodyears at 26,000 looked almost new (maybe 1/4 worn at that point). No problem with them with mostly hard street use.
