Crappy Toyota design?? FWD?? They're all known to eat tires even the AWD versions. The good part though I received 40% back seeing as they didn't make the 60k warranty.

Both cars have the tires rotated every 7500 miles with an alignment every spring (~15k) after the roads settle down from the frost heaves. Neither one is ever out of alignment as the adjustment have all been within specs. They're two main differences; the type of driving. I'm 80% highway, the van is ~30% highway, and the van is my wife's car, and that's all I'll say! For a while I thought it might be the van weighs too much however, my X weighs 10% more so that discredits that idea.

Overall I very much so like the tires on my X. They're smooth, very quiet, and you can get into them hard and they're very predictable.
