I fall into that category. For a car that really don't like (other than it's very utilitarian for hauling parts, wheels and tires for my WRX), I have six sets of wheels and tires for it. Generally, in the summer I ride around on other peoples heat cycled out take off extreme performance tires such as RE-71R or BF Goodrich Rival S 1.5's. Basically only buy winter tires.

Yes but I bought these tires together with the Enkei wheels from Offerup so I dont have the receipt. I called America's Tires but they said I need to have the receipt to get the warranty.
Anyway i did replace it with a new tire now.
