Tread Wear - Bridgestone
#16
YES PASS ON THEM. They're horrible tires and the only reason I haven't replaced them is because I'm going to wait until they're done and then replace the wheels and tires altogether at the same time and go aftermarket.
DO NOT get Goodyears. AWFUL tires.

I've got them on my car and really like them. I read a LOT of people complaining that theirs are loud. Mine are NOT loud at all. I've had them for about 8k miles thus far. My Bridgestones lasted right at 26k before the rears were bald.
This thread has some pics of my Goodyear Eagle F1's on my car: https://g35driver.com/forums/picture...s-my-07-a.html
Edited to add: I paid $950 installed (tax included) for my set.

Oh - one weird thing. All of the Michelins I've used so far have been well-balanced; the Goodyears seem to be harder to balance, and you can hear that they're not perfectly round? Odd, but the tire place confirmed that Michelin has the lead here, and other brands just aren't as good.

Eh...I have a set of Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics on right now, and they're okay. Fantastic in the wet, good in dry, and okay tread wear. Probably won't buy them again though, will switch to Pilots.

F1s are great in wet weather, but I'd gladly go back to a little hydroplaning to get super-traction in dry weather and a softer and quieter ride.

i actually work for bridgestone and its normal to have the 050s be due for replacement at under 30k. the G tire is not made for mileage rather for performance. We do make a FireHawk GT which is made for mileage or the Bridgestone Turanza which are made for mileage as well if your looking for something that lasts

I'm at 16,000 and the wear bars are starting to show, I've got about 30% left. I'm gonna try and scoop up a set of new coupe 19's between now and my tires being gone.

Have any of you installed the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on a G35X or if not the X, then on a regular G35?
These are supposed to be the highest rated tire for the G35X. Hard to find at dealers, but I got them at TireRack today, so we'll see how they work out. I hope others who use them are happy with them. If not, I could still return them, so any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot
