For some reason unknown to human kind my car is going through a set of tires every just under 20,000 kms. I am on my fourth set at 78,000km. Yup alignment done every time, alignment done several times in between. Cause unknown, no wait lets see, un inflated, nope overinflated, nope cornering too fast, nope alignment time again, nope gee we dont know what to say, um other people have the same problem with these types of cars, I guess it is normal. In my opinion no it is not normal. I had an 82 escort went through 3 motors and two windshields, had it for 6 years and only replaced the tires once in over 100,000 kms. Basically exactly the same car. Hello dont need a lawyer to figure this one out. O and by the way because we are buying an economy priced car we are getting economy results, dealerships words not mine :/
