Also, while I agree that measuring the circumference on Wiz's old tires will tell us something, I don't think it tells us the whole story. Measuring the circumference, as has been suggested on thsis thread, has to be done with the car's weight off the tire. That tells us nothing about the actual rolling diameter of the tire. Not maintaining the tire pressure correctly can be just as damaging as having tires with significantly different wear.
I keep an eye on my tire pressures and I rotate my tires every time I change my oil - about every 3,000 miles.

Ok. They said the tires are within the 1/4" margin. So these tires were not at fault. But, they also said its likly that the guy may have done the same thing in the past except that the tires were more than 1/4" different in size.
Seems logical that the guy would have done that before these tires. If he ignored the rule with these ones this time, why not in the past too?
Anyways, there is not much more info they could give me to the cause of the problem becides that the guy must have done that.
