Did some work on the R yesterday including new plugs and changing the oil and also went ahead and rotated the tires. Before the pictures let me tell you I'm not a very aggressive driver on the street and don't kill my tires. However the tires do have 4 or 5 autocrosses on them, most of which were in pretty extream heat. NOw for the pics. The links under each pic are for a HUGE version of the same pic.

Also the rubber buildup you can see on the inside of the rear tires was picked up from a autocross held at a local oval track, and just hadn't come off the tires yet. After rotating the rears to the front the extra tread depth was evident making the car feel a little more twitchy, but I've gotten used to it now and can barely, if at all, tell the difference.

 

i should show you mine with ~13k miles on them...

 

Man I can imagine, I'd be surprised if I get 6-8k out of these Still love em though.

 

not bad

 

They are in better shape than mine are in. I checked my alignment the other day and found out the place that aligned it f'd it all up. I had almost 2.5 degress negative tow. I ate over half my tires in 1000 miles.

Stupid alignment shop, what were they thinking

 

they didnt print out a sheet to show you wat your toe was when u aligned it?

 

It was an alignment shop that we used to use. They didn't charge me for the alignment so they didn't give me a sheet on it. Needless to say we now have our own alignment rack and do our own alignments now.
