New Tires Already?
I've had the sport continental's on my car for 16,000 miles now. And seems like tires are bald in the rear, time for new tires?

I had to replace mine at 6,000 miles. I would suggest that you do the same. Good luck.

Just mounted a set this morning of PilotSport 2's, stock size, at 10Kmi, the rears were going to near slicks, and one developed a sidewall bubble.
I can feel the difference in ride, grip and noise, and haven't even gotten off the mold release yet. Can't wait to feel them scuffed in at 500 miles.
They look good too!

Just got my PS2's at Discount Tire. $1300 including lifetime damage warranty for all 4. After having my wife's new tires getting 2 punctures in 1 week, and having Discount happily mount 2 new ones for no cost, I'd say it's certainly worth the additional expense.

As far as getting 10K out of the tires, I got the car, a 2004 E55 Designo Graphite, with only 8k miles, and the tires were babied. A bubble in the rt rear sidewall gave me the excuse I needed. My E39M5 never did better than 6-8K or so for rear tire mileage with PS 1's.

I also need new tires. Tire rack gave me a price on line of 1417 for the below 4 tires.
275/30YR19
245/35YR19
Are those the preferred tires. The price seems over what is listed above?
Thank you very much
