Alignment as done when the fronts were put on (before I purchased the car). When the rears were put on I did not get an alignment done.

Edit: Talked to previous owner, Alignment was done when Nitto NT555's were put on the rear, NOT the fronts.

After looking at the tires the wear bars are actually starting to show. Only the D is left in the tread. I bought a depth gauge and they're wearing evenly across the both tires.

I contacted Tire Rack and anything below be 3-4/32nds of tread depth or less to file a claim. And it looks like I will be doing so.

You're correct sir. I'm 24, I honestly can say I don't drive like a typical 24 year old male. Do I enjoy the car? Sure. Do I beat the piss out of it, not a chance. I want this car to last and don't particularly like shelling out 400 dollars for rear tires every 6 months. lol

I called Tire Rack and filed a claim, excellent CS and I will be buying a new set, I am going to try a different brand and take your advice just to verify I'm not driving the car too hard to cause this fast of wear.

Any recommendations on a nice set of all seasons that are good in the wet?
