True, Blizzaks don't last. I get rid of mine after 3 winters regardless of the miles they have on them because by that time they look like crap regardless of balancing or aligning or rotating. If you look at a new set of Blizzaks the rubber looks like its made out of sponge rubber. As it wears down the rubber keeps exposing more air cells which is where the wear comes from (and the grip on icy roads). If you run them down enough you'll run out of the soft rubber into a harder compound and at that time they're just a crap all-season tire.
