Front tires / Rear tires ratio
Hello guys,
I just got my cpo c63 and searched the forum for the answer to this question:
how long do the front tires last compared to the rears?
I have Continental Extremecontact DWS ( all seasons ) on the car and wanted to change it to Summer tires- like the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I heard that the rears last 4000-8000 miles depending on use, but how long do the fronts last?
twice as long? 3x? I want to know how much $$ im going to blow through this year on tires!
Thanks!

19 Inch Nexen N3000 Tire Tread wear 340.
I use these tires on the rear with a good front tire. These N3000s have deeper treads compared to most tires, no noise and they last quite a bit longer then most tires as they have a 340 tread wear combined with the deeper tread.
Traction isn't obviously the greatest compared to a 200 TW tire, but these last a hell of a lot longer and you can still hammer on them. I run 275 on 19s.
