I am just about to replace my front 2 225/50/16 KDW-G Forces.
after over 41,000 miles. I think I rotated them once.
Both edges have worn down, with the inside edges starting to show the steel belts this week. The center tread area probably has another 5K left or more.
Given that I drive the car 'silly' 25-30k miles a year I don't baby them by any stretch {93,000 miles}. The wheels being out of alignment is my guess on why the excessive inside wear. The camber is likely way off the specs. I'll keep you posted. I probably have 10-15K of life left on the rear tires.
I have had two bad experiences with tire changes on this car.
The first time they lifted the car up on the rocker panels and popped out the side moldings. The second time they used a hand floor jack to avoid the first problem and jacked up a rear control arm and bent it like a pretzel. So a word of warning always watch out when the car goes on a lift.
