Tire costs - Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season
2 - 255/35R-18 Eagle F1 All Seasons from Discount today @ $469.51
Exact mileage at tire change was 5,207 miles.
Fronts are fine and don't need to be changed yet.
I'm hoping to get at least 20-25k out of the new rears.
No burnouts for me. "C" mode is plenty fine.

Great choice. I got a set of 4 when my rears went about 6K and I love 'em.
Hwtheric1 you may wanna think about getting the front too. I just had them return my front and am keeping in case of emergency. I've heard that different treadon the axles can have a negative effect on tire wear.
20K on the rears is quite optimistic, car has TOO much torque even driving in C mode. A realistic number is probably 10-12K (12K expect to be seeing threads). Don't wanna be a wet rag but ya gotta include rear rubber in the 09 budget. LOL.

im assuming by the all season description that these are not considered a high/max performance summer tire (obviously not summer)
was anyone worried about losing some grip/performance?

Just took her in for Service A and the tech told me I was down to 2/32nd on the tread and the rears only have about 4,000 miles on the GY A/S and I haven't been pushing her alot since I got the new rubber. Admittedly I blew the dealer off figuring he was just trying to get more $$ for a tire job that they would overcharge for. The car hasn't been sliding like it did with 5,800 on the rear stock Pirelli's.

Nitto's are good tires, have 'em (Invos) right now. The NT05, however, is a completely new tire - not the same as the the 555's (just as FYI).

You will NEVER see 20-25K on a set of performance tires, unless you drive like a grandma. AND then they will still wear out do to fact that they are a softer rubber, as they are STILL a PERFORMANCE tire.
Try looking for some ALL season, treadwear 450+ if you truely want that milage. But don't say I didn't warn you, as then they will light up at the lightest tap on the gas pedal
which will wear them out again.No free lunch in the world of performace cars my friends. AKA it's the price of admision

I am confused, a pure summer sport tire should give you more mileage than an all weather tire due to it's compound mixture? A winter tire has a softer compound than an all weather and a summer is the hardest compound of the three.

1. A TRUE summer sport tire is made of fairly soft rubber to give you GREAT traction on DRY asphalt, hence they do not last past 10,000 miles typical
2. A TRUE winter ONLY tire is made of EXTREMELY soft rubber to give traction on a FROZEN surface. Hence if you ride them during HOT weather they to wear out VERY fast.
3. A ALL season tire is a mixed compromise of the both from above. Since they do not have to be SOFT for ONLY winter driving, and they are made harder for summer driving, their treadwares tend to be the highest around 400+
Down side is they are truly a compromise for ALL driving types. Not theat good in summer, and not that good in winter. Their MAJOR plus is they are multi purpose and DO tend to last longer than either of the above.
Chech out http://www.tirerack.com/tires/dg/MenuServlet?search=tdg
It will give a good start for selection. NOTE: I do not beleive tirerack is always right my friend
But they are a good source of information
See yeah
Note: I took the liberity of doing the search for a E63, all season TW was 420, Summer TW 300, MAX summer TW 180-220. Get the point

I do really know that, its just that it seams that people are saying they should be getting more miles with a set of all weathers than summer? It all boils down to that the stocked Pirellis are crapola and have always been in my opinion.A word to the wise, studys show that summer tires do not grip safely with temperatures under 7 celcius because the compound is not soft enough like winter tires.

I think you could have gotten a better deal elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend returning to that shop. You can get a good-great pair of rears for $200-300 per. Closer to $220ish.

Oh yeah, if you have a NTB store around you, or even Sears they will MATCH tireracks prices. Atleast here in PA.
Good luck

My guess is I've got another 3-4K before I need to replace them. For reference my rear Pirelli's were shot by 5,700 miles.
