They wear evenly, but they wear faster then the front. The tire rack said to put the newer tires on the front for fwd vehicals. what is causing this? my car is all stock with 65,xxx miles.

yea that could be it.. but they might have also messed up your rear alinment.. if the toe it off you will still drive staright if the front are alinged right and are dragging the back.

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
