Ya know, that thought crossed my mind. At first I dismissed it...the cars only got 57k miles, it seemed way too early. But then I thought about my mishap last December: On a cold day I spun out on some wet asphalt (should NOT have been driving on summer performance tires---the drizzle started AFTER I left home), smacking a curb hard enough to deflate (and visibly compromise) both right side tires. Also curb-rashed the wheels as well.

Both wheels and tires were replaced, and the car aligned, but do you suppose the impact might have been enough to ding the bearings and speed up their demise? And, if so, here's the BIG question: You suppose I could sell that theory to the insurance company 11 months later and get it covered???
