rob, Goodyear is the worst. I only had a few thousand more than you before I changed them out to the Bridgestone Alenzas on the 330. They might be overkill for you, more for snow and stuff. I would recommend them or the OE Michelins. I believe Michelin is having a promotion for $70 off a set right now. Everything helps. Good luck.

You would need to call Goodyear tires to see if they would give you a discount on new tires based on your not so great mileage with the last set . However, most folks would not purchase a new set again, so you are likely out of luck.

Taken from the Goodyear Tires web site (FAQ's):

"Goodyear does not offer a written mileage promise on any tires supplied as original equipment. Due to the variety of styles, construction features, treat compounds, vehicle applications, geographical conditions and driving habits, it is difficult to provide a specific mileage expectancy.

However, any tire wear concern should always be presented to your local authorized Goodyear retailer for further evaluation.

Many of our authorized retailers offer specific mileage warranties on several lines of tires sold as replacement tires, including some tires that are used as original equipment. These mileage warranties are administered based on the retail outlets verification of proper tire maintenance having been performed.
