Everything about the suspension and alignment are as-delivered. Hard to
believe that anyone could get 25,000k from a set of Pilots with so little
wear. My first set were truly worn to the point of danger at around
22,000k
(14,000 miles). And I rotated them at no more than 5,000 mile intervals as
recommended. Second set is at that point now. But, as I wrote, my driving
style is "energetic" and every curve and ramp is seen as a challenge.
