Checked mine, all good. Is there a rough a average for how long the Good Year Eagle tires will last under normal daily driving conditions? I have the 1SS 1LE with about 450 miles on it.

What happened was I took the car in to the dealership for free oil change (Yes 10 qts) and they said they rotated the the tires too. WTF, with 2200 miles I didn't want them to do it, but they did. I said the car has big a littles (different sizes front and back) and the service writter Dude said it was a side to side rotate.

And the car doesn't corner as well as it should. I was wondering if they ####ed it up, or if I was tripping or these tires were like big wheel tires in temperatures below 40F.

Thanks for the post. I was wondering, and now I know.
I'll change the tires back.
its because they are like big wheel tires at temps below 40

Can't wait to get home and check my tires. I rotated side to side once and did not notice anything but I am certainly not the most observant guy in the world lol.

I had better check mine. I would not have noticed even though I coat my tires.
