      Dude you have something seriously wrong with your alignment. I on my 5th set at 140K miles and I beat the crap out my car.

      My alignment, and rotation, and balance, are all on spec. Maybe now with the rear shocks replaced, new tires will last longer? It drives straight as a pin. So it is not out of alignment. Its been all cheap Chinese tires since I bought the car. And then this so called 'High Performance' set, (that are suppose to wear out faster, to give you more traction). Thats the crap line they gave me, as they now want to sell me the set of touring tires that I wanted, when I needed to replace the 3rd set. NOW they have Firestone 'Touring tires', but didnt have any 'touring tires' when I replaced them, 2 years ago. Guess there is no profit in 14in tires. Hell...still cant explain the 19MPG to this day!!! Let alone the tire eating this car does!

      What years is your Aveo? I just recently found a problem with the intake that could affect millage. I had a crack in my intake hose. Once I get my head replaced, I will see if I get back to 31 MPG. So I would pull off the intake and check it for cracks.
