			No, if this tire truly had only 9000 miles on it, you either had a defective tires  (how are the others?) or you have a suspension/alignment issue (based on how the tire wear looks).
 Better find out which before you do this deal again. Expensive and dangerous, no?
 
 BTW-you should have your tires rotated AND inspected every 5K miles.  This will insure maximum tread life and maximum life span (your life span).
 
 
 You may want to try a set of Yokohama's which are a bit more affordable and a good tire to boot.
