Quick question for everyone. Do you notice your rear tires wearing out extremly fast ? Just want to know if it's normal. ( by fast i mean about 8000 miles) My current tire is the yokohama avs es 100 and i'm riding on tein Stech's

 

Its normal.

My rear OEM S02 lasted 9,000 miles. Then I went thru a rear set of S03 in about 8,000 miles.

 

One reason why i'm not too anxious to mess with the suspension on our's...im enjoying getting good mileage out of our stockers...

&lt;----- 8,000 miles on stock tires on stock susp.

Of course, my driving habit had something to do with it

 

Damn dude...my wife drive's hers daily and our Potenza's are still like new, we've not put them through MUCH abuse but we have drive it hard a good bit of times...i dunno, we're getting closer and closer to 10K day by day, i see them lasting well past that.

i've put 13k miles on mine and they are still running strong..... and at least 8k miles of that i've been dropped

 

i got 5000 miles out of my rears, well 5200 to be more exact

 

I got almost 14000. Its becasue I rotated and remounted them. The steel belt things were coming through the rubber when I finally changed tires.

how can you rotate? ours are directional and staggered

 

yor remount on each back rim. most the wear is onl on the inside edge anyway.

so that means your tires are backwards

 

NO, Papa Smurf, swap left to right rears. Inside sidewall turned to outside side wall. Still in the correct direction.

i did not know that was doable

 

I got another few thousand miles this way.

our insides seem to wear the most. even worse with aggressive alignment

Right. Thats why when you rotate left to right, the inside turns to the out side edge.

yeah i figured that out but doesn't that affect handling?

 

Handling was fine. You have more tread to work with now.

i will have to try this next time, what mileage did you do this at?

 

I think 9000 or so.
