hmm - guess which tires wear the most on these cars

both fronts were off .25 oz
passenger rear off .75 oz
driver's side rear - spot on

amazing at that small of a difference I could feel it though, now smooth as buttah again

Re right rear tire

Old pro at a tire place said "Ditch tire is always the most out of whack."

How was your tread wear after 10K? Do you think they will go for another 10K?

I have about 2k on the same tires right now. There seems to be a large discrepancy on lifetime mileage with these tires under average driving conditions if I could get 20k on mine I'd be satisfied.

I have 7-8mm of depth left pretty much all around - I'm not one to do standing wheel-spins

Not to threadjack, but overall are you satisfied with the V12s? I ordered them for my wheels and haven't had them mounted yet.

love em, great bang for the buck tire - got em for 1/2 the price of the PSS
so far holding up decently!

good traction, I mean - nothing is really "GOOD" in 1st or 2nd though unless you're riding slicks
