Front Tires
I was just wondering how often do you guys replace the front tires. I bought some Falken FK452 about 2 months ago. looks like there some wear already on the inside. Do guys think its the tires or alignment issue. I got the car aligned at the mb dealership after i put them on. Is this common with E55's. Thanks

Yea, I put about 12,000 miles on them. My wife drives fast. Its a daily driver. She puts probably 60 miles everyday. If i was gonna replace the tires whats the cheapest I could go for and also Z rated. thanks

wow 12k miles in 2 months? u do some serious driving.
12k out of front tires is not bad. you must've gone through at least 3 sets of rear tires. never tried those tires before though.

I bought FK-452 at a charity auction.
I will put them on in about 2 months, but I am going to get 12K miles out of my conti's on the rear.
Anyway, Falken is trying hard for business with the people on this forum. I will post on the quality in about 3 months.
But I just realized I did not answer your question. I would guess the fronts would be good for 20K miles unless you went on the track.
