I must be really wierd here, but I replaced the original tires at 40k miles and now at just over 50K the news ones look great! I can drive pretty aggressively as well, but I picked a harder tire with a 560 tread life rating. I'm guessing these will last me another 10k-20k miles. Their the Continental extreme sport DWS tires and I love them!

They are not the grippest tires but I didn't want to have to replace them every 10K miles as I drive my car 3K a month as a daily driver. (100 miles a day).

Can't beat a 560 treadware tire for these sporting tires, best I've found and I believe they're made in Germany as well?

From: PHX/PIE/OMA ---> Yes, all three
E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Running General Exclaim UHPs that last about 10 months or 10-12000 miles in rear.
I drive about average mileage, and average conditions/pretty "normal spirited" not crazy driving.
