I just rotated my tires after 10,000 miles and I noticed that the front tread is down about half when compared to the back...does this sound right? It seems like I should have more tread left after 10,000 miles (I have the stock Michelin Pilots). I do drive the car hard at times (hard cornering, fast acceleration from stop).

 

The stock tires bite very bad grip and very fast tread ware. Id suggest getting some new tires something like s05's or proxes

 

or nitto 555!!!

 

Shouldnt you rotate them every 5,000? I just hit 30k on the stock michilins. 10k of that being lowered on teins. I still have enough tread to last me till summer, or about 5 k.

 

yup I rotate every 5k

You should rotate your tire more oftem and get an alignment as well.

I rotate my tires at every other Oil Change which is about 6,000 miles.

I also get an alignment every 9,000 miles. ( I have hook up at alignment place)

 

I have 34k on my michelins. but they should last much longer. Lookin to get proxes 4s

 

I've been googling the tires and have come up with customer reviews leaning more in the direction of horrible tread wear and an overall dissapointment with the tire. I should mention that my tires were also 4 psi under recommended pressure which isn't a good thing. One I rotated the tires and inflated them back to spec my car felt faster and handled better.
