Default First tire dead at under 11,000 miles

I noticed the front RHS tire outer side 2" is pretty much bald now. The rest are looking like they've got, perhaps, another 10K at most in them. Now, you may say, surely this is my fault for improper maintenance and not keeping up the alignment - au contraire - Saturn did the alignment around 6000 miles ago in case the poor MPG were because of it. Looking at the wear pattern, it really can't help fuel economy if we're essentially dragging a front tire slightly sideways.

As to the others - I'd say we're looking at 20K tires at best - especially good news as we're moving into the rainy season here in California. Wow - fabulous - what a smart buy I made....

More to add to my dissatisfaction.

So what's everyone else seeing?
