How long do tires last on Nissan Altima?

Question

Have a 2001 Nissan Altima mostly street and highway driving. Got only about

35000 miles on them and is getting bald and desperately need replacement. Those are original tires Continental brand. I remember I used to have tires that run 50K miles or more and warranty usually goes for at least 50-60K. Why do these tires wear out so quick? Original tires do not have any warranty.

What are good replacement tires? Current ones on the car are P205/65R16. Looking for reasonably good tires but don't want to pay for an arm and a leg. Sales ad in paper rarely have one that matches your size.

Thanks,

O

*nh&p_tbl=9&p_id'&p_created27459749> I thought that was too good to be true..."A tire is eligible for anadjustment on a pro rata basis until the tread is worn down tothe tread wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of treadremaining).The tire tread is worn out at this point and thisPolicy ends regardless of time period."...so they cover failures - but NOT WEARING OUT!Andy

I just replaced the tires on my 1999 Altima at 59,000 miles. The old tires were quite worn, and were squirmy at 60mph in heavy rain. I drive like an old lady, so my tires probably last longer.

(I bought new tires at Goodyear for $215 or so, the cheapest set they had. Then I sold the car.)
