Hello everyone.

So I have a 2018 Lexus IS 300 AWD fsport and I’ve noticed that it eats tires more aggressively than normal, even with proper alignment and below average commute mileage.

I bought the car used with approximately 30,000 miles on it and the dealer said the front tires were new and the back 7/32. This was in November of 2020.

I replaced 3 tires last year and one this year ( last week ) and I was told the tires that were replaced last year have about 6/32 tread left.

I don’t do drifting. I don’t speed. I don’t do burnouts. And I average 9,000 miles a year.

The tires are all season tires and brand continental.

I went through my papers history to obtain these info about the car so that I can get a more reliable and accurate answer to my question.

Thank you very much in advance.
