So I only got 3,200 miles on my rear Pilot Super Sports. Discount Tire said the tires have a wear warranty so a new set cost $255 warranty vs full price for rears $658. I don't track the car but do drive it like it owes me money. Could I have gotten a bad set of tires? Or is my driving that bad. Rears are 305/35/R19.

Check your alignment. Toe might be too much.

If you drive around spinning tires and/or doing burnouts, yeah, they won't last that along.

I drive hard. No burnouts or spinning the tires.

Got any pics? Thatā€™ll give a little insight to what kind of wear youā€™re experiencing. Sounds like somethingā€™s up though. Iā€™d say 50% of my driving is hard driving (on the street so nothing crazy) but at about 8k miles they still had 5-6/32 tread. They were 2016 dot oem gt350 wheels/tires. Alignment was around -2* camber and 0 toe iirc

Check the rear toe. Mine was out on one side and wore the tire to slick in no time.

I had the same issue with a set of 305/35/19 PSS last summer. I stored the car previously with race ramp flat stoppers in a climate controlled garage. The PSS get super finicky in different temps. Below 50 worthless, mine were toast around 3k miles also. I wish they would offer this size in MPSS 4s, but only sport cup 2s as far as Iā€™ve seen.
