Default All season as autox tires

So I got my Ziex's last May, in less than 12k miles and oh some 20+ autoxes my rears (which used to be my fronts) are completely bald.

440 tread wear all seasons FTW... seriously... I won an event driving that boat on those hard as rock tires.

I've heard that the BFgoodrich G-sport tires are basically better versions of those if you are looking for new tires to replace those ones but thats pretty badass man lol

Eh no... not autoxing the Accord anymore. I am going to Sears tomorrow and pricematching 2 Ziex's and putting those on.

The CRX on the other hand... fronts are Michelin XOnes I got free from a friend. The rears are Firestone Firehawks I found behind a tire place.

What is it with me and crappy *** tires.

You need to ditch the crap tires and start running on something decent. It is a lot more fun that way.

What the hell did you do? I put 24,000 miles on my Ziexs on my MR2 and that was with -2.5 deg of camber in front and all that weight on the rears. By about 22,000 the rears were bald.

My Accord with my fat **** in it weights 3200 lbs. Thats why.

Did someone say Falkens... sorry don't go for those foo foo wannabe real tires. I'm with Targa... Kumho V710s FTW.

Sean who need to win the lottery.

The P-zero nero's M+S that I'm on right now aren't bad though.

LOL!!!

"Normal highway use"... so how do I explain those chewed sidewalls.

I am not too worried about it, the Accord isn't being run this year and its become my daily driver.

Just picked up 2 new tires from Sears... they wanted $40 to install them. Eff that.
