    Yeah, well.
    The factory tires were trash, like factory tires always are. They were bald at 11k. The next set I bought I went for the cheapest ones available, as I didn't have the money at the time. They lasted less than 10k. So my current set has about 17k on them, which isn't bad for delivery tires. Squeal your way around enough brick corners, you're gonna wear your tires. Like I said, the rubber is coming off the clutch pedal, so I've done some driving in those 37k.
