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

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.

Is the car stock wheels or did you put 19's on it? My tires wore out real fast in the rear after installing 19's.

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.
