What Kind Of Tires Do You Use

Pirelli 225/50/16

I thought that I should up date this thread now that I have some miles on my tires.
Just about 4000 kilometers on the new rear Yokohama's now and there is only about 30% left.
I am shocked that these tires wore out so quick

left tire


right tire


when they were new

Check the alignment. You probably know this, but too much toe either way could cause increased wear.

I would suspect rapid acceleration as opposed to any alignment problems for the wear issues on those tires.

Forgot to add my tire choice - Continental ExtremeContact DWS in 225/50/16 on original wheels. They don't have that many miles on them, but they are FANTASTIC so far!
