Should start a campaign against the 458 p-zeros

this is what my fronts look like after 2k+ miles, i drive very aggresively in the mountains but never any track. Tire pressures are always not far from spec.
People are also suggeting there might be an alignment issue on a 2k mile car??!!

the rears look and wear perfect, just the fronts that are blistered and inners wear more than the outters. I admit im on the verge of tire adhesion when i go out, but this looks like it got laps on a track!!!
and it only did 2k miles!!
My corsas on the scuderia lasted 4k+, how can this wear faster??
for now i took it off its rims and rotated them and rotate the rears too.
, will see how they feel this weekend.

forgot to say that my tire guy thinks the blisters may be caused by a lack of grip to the road.

Try getting the front end aligned. It's not always perfect when it leaves the factory.

TheAmericanStig is an unknown quantity at this point
Time to drop Pirelli and get some real sticky tires.

I'm going to start the petition and set up a fund-raiser so we can start a world-wide campaign!!!

Really...it's one bad set of tires. Replace them and move on.

This. Seriously, starting a "campaign" against P-zero's because you wore your tires out too quickly?

Don't kid yourself...it's been done before.

Back in the day I bought a new NSX and they came with Yokahama tires.

Well the tires wore out very quickly because they were racing tires and thus were very soft. A class action suit was filed and eventually all original NSX owners were awarded coupons for several sets of new tires.

I don't know the specifics here but it may be analagous if this is a pattern with other owners.

that looks pretty bad. looks more like heat issue. not sure why your rears are wearing fine. definitely have pressure checked. are you doing some threshold braking?
