check with your dealer and see what they say....sometimes if one ahs excellent relationship with the dealer, they "might" give you a new one..worth a try..

Tires are actually warrantied through the tire manufacturer.
How many miles on it?
Ever rotate the tires?
They look like they have been on the front for a while.
How do the rear tires look? If they look worn evenly, then I'd say lack of rotation and hard driving.

Just asking!

Most dealers would say "sorry, but you should be rotating these tires at least every 5K miles."

Your tire wear is a classic example of what happens when you don't rotate soft rubber tires. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Did you have the free 5K service done? I hope you've been changing the oil.

I just got the new Bridgestone Potenza GIII tires, they really ride great. I had the Yokohama DNA GP tires before and they were terrible. I really recommend the Potenza GIII.
