I AM HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING TIRES ON OUR 2005 CHRYSLER 300. I HAVE HAD IT LESS THAT 1 AND 1/2 YEARS AND ALREADY HAVE PUT ON TWO SETS. AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF ABUSE EITHER. THEY ARE JUST WEARING DOWN, EVEN THE DEALER IS PERPLEXED WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, ANYONE HEARD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS?

You mention nothing about having the alignment angles checked? If the toe is way out it will eat up tires.

Apparently, you are also experiencing difficulty with your "caps lock" key.
Why do you keep replying to me? read the post and reply to the correct person!!!
Sorry about the capital letters before. yes,they are Continental tires and i was told that there are limited manufactuers for the size of the tire for my 300.
And still never mention anything about having the alignment done
Regular maintainence always done.VERY particular with my vehicle. (regular rotation every 6000 miles) it was aligned 2 or 3 time in 26,000 miles. THE PROBLEM IS......that the tires are wearing down EVENLY (no cupping or what so ever) to the point of not passing safety inspection. in this case the tires were in the back. (and yes...Continental tires) They are P215/65R17 and the dealer told me only certain manufacturers make this size. All work done at a chrysler dealership
Get rid of the Continental tires, they are junk tires
Try Michlen Hydroedge for best wear or Goodyear TripleTread for good snow performance or Goodyear ComfortTread for good snow and ice performance.

Thank you all for the help. Maxpower wrote......"Get rid of the Continental tires they are junk" I agree! I went one step future though....I got rid of the car ! I traded it in on a Chevy Monte Carlo SS. Thanks again !!
Wow...out of the Frying Pan...
