Hey everyone,
The other day I went to rotate my tires and was dismayed to find that they were in need of replacement; every tire had been worn down to, or a bit past the wear bars on the innermost section, except the driver front tire which was down to the cords . The tread is solid everywhere else but the inside area.
I have been running NSX wheels with Pilot Sport All-Season 4s for the past ~22,000 miles - sizing is 245/35/19 so overall dimensions are very close to stock wheels and tires. I bought the wheels and tires from a guy on this forum and I thought that they had only a few thousand miles on them (although I may be misremembering or have been mistaken about number) so I was hoping I would get more wear before I replaced them. I should note that I use the car almost exclusively for highway commuting and have only done a bit of spirited driving around nearby twisty roads - no track days or anything.
A couple questions:

A couple questions:
- Was I being unrealistic about the tread-life from the tires? As far as I know, they have about 27,000 miles on them. TireRack says that the warranty on a new set is 45,000 miles so I thought that I would get at least 10,000 more miles out of them.
- How frequently should I be rotating my tires? I was doing it every 10,000 miles.
- Is that wear characteristic of the car and how the suspension is set up, or was I in need of an alignment? I did not have it aligned when I put the NSX wheels on, because the overall size was like 1% different from the OE wheels. The car has 26,000 miles on it total so I figured that it would still be mostly aligned.
