Tires came on vehicle oem firestone ft140. 205/65/r16. The vehicle, a 2016 chevy Malibu LS, has 25, 652 miles on it. The tires are maintained, rotated regularly, correct tire pressure etc. No signs of uneven wear, cupping etc. No wheel alignment needed etc. As per dealer. The tire tread is down to 4/32 in the rear and 6/32 in the front. Tread wear seems to be excessive for the rear tires on a vehicle with only 25k on it. I reached out to firestone and Chevrolet. Oem tires should not be wearing out this premature. When I asked the firestone rep about tread life they told me that they did not know what the expected tread life was on oem tires because they were made to specifics provided by vehicle manufacturer. If I were to buy the same again now as a replacements, they have a 50k tread life warranty, nut I am concerned about the premature tread wear. I will need to replace the tires at close to $1000, an an unexpected cost with such low mileage.
