Is it just me or do Tires fitted in the factory wear much quicker then tires purchased from a retail store? It seem every new vehicle I have driven, the factory tires wear out within 35k miles.
It is my assumption, a lot of negotiation goes on between the auto manufacturer when choosing a tire to put on the vehicle from the factory. I believe the tire manufacturer will make a special production run. This production run will produce a tire that looks like all other tires, but is tailored for the new vehicle. Extra sticky rubber on the surface to make the vehicle handle well during the test drives, and the cut other corners to reduce production costs. The tires are safe, but not quite to the standards being sold at the local tire shop? Am I thinking crazy?
