Living in Canada I would not buy summer tires again, when the temperature gets to 50 degrees F. the tires get too hard and become a bit hairy. I like my Hankook Ventus tires fine but never again. The car is off the road by the middle of October at the latest or as soon as I see they have sprayed some roads with that liquid ice melter they use.

I have never had a rear alignment it is a stock setup and the wear is very balanced, I had the fronts done when they said they could do the backs s well, then they said they could not do the rears and charged me nothing for the fronts. I have maybe one more year on the rears, they could go more but I would sooner be safe than sorry, they have been on for seven summers. Mileage is about 17,500 miles.

One rear had an inside sidewall slash, replaced under warranty and the other rear a slow puncture.
