I couldn't believe that both MPS front tyres needed replacing after only 8000 miles. The wear was pretty even across the tyres. Rear tyres still have 6mm left.

I've a pretty light right foot and have never experienced getting less than 20000 miles from front tyres before.

From new the car had a tendancy to ease towards the kerb - which I was told was not unusual with low profile tyres and common road cambers.

I complained to the service manager that this excessive wear rate must be due to incorrect steering geometry and they should check it under warrenty. He didn't think honda would agree to this.

Has anyone else getting through tyres like this - any suggestions for a better tyre ?
