For those who are curious: Stock Pilot Sports after 27K miles

Really 27316+ to be exact. I'm surprised that they've lasted this long.

Here's one of the fronts:









And the passenger rear:










I think this just shows how bad my commute is. I really spend 90% of the time going between 0-5 MPH.



And another shot of my car now. The license plate is held on with two bolts secured onto an extra tow hook cover ($12).

No offense taken, but you must not be familiar with Los Angeles 405 traffic. When all 5 lanes are filled with car after car, everyone's driving like grandma.

I actually got a speeding ticket recently, so Officer McQueen of the CHP didn't think I was taking it slow enough. Sheesh.

i have 17k on mine and the road noise is HORRIBLE. That is a huge understatement. Literally, i have to yell to talk to the passenger while driving. I cant believe my tires are gone already, but im sure lowering my car had alot to do with premature lives.

I'm just past 13K and my rears are about ready to be replaced. I have a set of new S03's waiting for me in the garage though. I may have them put on this weekend if time permits. Regardless of traffic, I just don't have the restraint to keep from replacing my tires quickly. I rarely get passed 12K miles with any tires on any car. I pretty much figure on replacing tires at least once a year.

I'm at about 26k and my fronts look like your rears... My rear tires were bald at 23-24k and I had to replace them. I need to get the fronts replaced as well but I'm just being lazy right now.

I guess driving at 10mph puts no heat and little wear on them. I expect mine to look like that in another 5k at 10k total.
