Car question

I got about 10,000 miles on the last set of tires on my motorcycle, but they were pretty worn out by the time I replaced them. In fact, they were so thin along the center that you could see the air inside.

Bikes are a whole other case, because you're using sections of the tread at different times, unlike cars that try to keep the tread flat as much as possible.
A squealing tire on a car, at 15 mph, indicates low tire pressure (likely) or faulty suspension weight distribution (far less likely), like lifting an unladen wheel.
