New Tires

I just hit 31,000 miles on my car and had to replace the rear tires. I bought the Michelin Pilot Sport AS+
They are AMAZING!
45,000 mile warranty
500 Tread wear rating
AA Traction
Better ratings and performance then the OEM tires but a little less expensive.
I couldn't believe how much the stock Michelins cost.

How much tread do you have left on your fronts? Just want to get an idea of the different rate of wear front to back.

The shop said they were 8-8.5 measured with a gauge. The rear tires were at 2.5-3 (2 is legally bald and unsafe). I have no idea why the rear tires showed more wear . I kept the front but the only reason I would want to change them is because of the speed rating (H). If I get the tune and delimiter I need at least Y rated.
