Tire Poll... how long do your tires last ????
How long do your tires last ?
It would be very helpful if everyone posted the brand of tire with how many miles they get from a set.
EXAMPLE: Pzero rosso, miles: 30k front tires, 24k rears.
rears were shot and the fronts still had 2k-4k left.

I got 12K on the OE Conti's. Rears were worse than fronts - but I wanted to change them all - the Conti's have to almost be overinflated to take out the sloppy handling.
Recently replaced with Michelin PS2s - and there is a NIGHT AND DAY differnce in handling. the stiffer sidewall of the Michelin's and better grip made ofr about 10 - 12 MPH improvement on my favorite on ramp.

I got good tread life on the Conti SP2 and SP3's but terrible grip. I love my Toyo R888's for grip but tread life is poor. Put them on a few weeks ago and hoping they last until after Nov 15's MIR track meet.

I went through the Conti's on the rear in 6K...twice. Switched to PS2's which appear to be lasting a little longer and are a far superior tire. Much improved ride, handling and less noise.
I always keep a pair of new rear tires in the garage. Gives me the mental freedom to abuse the hell out the tires because I know I already have new ones just waiting.
I get 12 to 15K out of a set of fronts.

How do your tires usually wear? Mine are pretty good near the outside but bald on the inside. I have been driving with the airmatic set at sport 2. When the dealer does an alignment, is it set at a particular setting or does the "Star" over ride the suspension?
Thanks,
Steve
