| My 2010 vw tdi sportwagon eats up the inside of the tires, very quickly. i just purchased my fifth set of tires for a car with less than 70,000 miles on it. i've had the alignment checked three times, and it continually shows to be within specs. the first two times, i had a vw dealership check the alignment, and both times they told me there was nothing they could do. i just had a private mechanic check the alignment, and he said i couldn't have a more perfect alignment, according to vw's specs. the last set of tires i purchased were rated for 55,000 miles, but i only got 15,000 out of them before the insides were worn down into the belts. this is a very dangerous situation since the rest of the tire looks new, and unless you get the car up on a lift, or lay down on the ground to deliberately look at the inside of the tires, you cannot see the damage taking place, and placing the operator in a situation where a blow-out can occur without warning. plus, not to mention the extremely high cost of tire purchases to operate this vehicle. *tr | |||
