Finally had to get new tires

After 60,355 miles I had to get new tires due to cupping and noise. I replaced them with the same OEM Michelin Pilot Hmhx4 I believe. They served me well! Paid $249.00 USD for each of them.

The Michelin Pilot's are just awesome with this car. I've never been happier with a set of tires.

You got a lot of miles out of them, you drive a lot.

Was there any other symptom that they were wearing out? Did you ever rotate them?

Mine (staggered, thus not rotated) have about 30K miles on them and look okay. The wear isn't too bad for the mileage, and there's plenty of tread left. I honestly didn't think they'd last 30K miles, let alone your 60K.

Just noise, you can't rotate them they are staggered size.

I have heard for most staggered cars like ours, instead of rotating them, we just flip them inside out because of the natural camber wear of the car. I remember my S2000 rear and frronts were eating from the inside because I didnt flip it, and there were no negative camber on the car, it was just how it made.

I thought the original Pilots that came with our 2008s were being phased out and there was newer model that was suppose to be better.

I thought these OEM were pretty good 60,000 miles on performance tires!
