THE TIRES WORE VERY QUICKLY ON THE BACK. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5-6 MONTHS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED HOW BADLY THE TREAD HAD WORN DOWN. THE FRONT TIRES ARE WORN VERY BADLY AND I BARELY HAVE 26000 MILES. THERE IS NO REASON THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE WORN DOWN THIS QUICKLY. WITHIN LESS THAN TWO YEARS I WILL HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE TIRES.
