Tyres replaced at less than 25k

...

My 2009 XR6 Falcon had done less that 25,000 km and the tyres were scrubbed out and in need of replacing. Ford said they couldn't do anything; that it needed a wheel alignment, which it had already had. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Tyre wear is an issue for many people with many different makes and models. Basically it comes down to the geometry used by carmakers today to make their cars handle well, and the way they're driven.
