What kind of mileage are you getting on these tires? I have 20,000 miles and my dealer suggested replacing the rears? They look fine to me! I would think the fronts would go first.

I have 32k of hard driving on mine and the rear inside tread on both sides is fading faster then the rest of the tire. I have checked tire pressure on a monthly basis. The fronts always seem to last longer.

Mine were done in the rears after 10-15K miles. The rears will wear faster because of their size.

Just over 20,000 and I'd say good for another 4,000. I thought they'd be done at 15,000. Very impressed with the tires.

Whenever you do buy, compare prices with www.tirerack.com to see if your dealer is giving you a fair price. Some people believe (as I do) to replace all four tires at once to prevent any traction imbalances.

Look at it more closely, especially on the inner edges of the tires. The X tends to eat up rear tires on the inner edges a lot quicker than the rests due to the built-in negative camber.

18K on mine and they look like they'll go another 10k at least.

That'll be the kiss of death now of course!!

Not only is it a traction issue, but all four tires must have closely matched circumferences (circumferi ?) not to damage the AWD.
