TREAD WEAR

Sorry guys if this has already been posted over and over. However I have about 10,000miles on my 6mt Coupe with the 18s and I noticed walking up from behind mycar today that the inner half of my rear tires were BALD! The outers were decent but the inners were bald...Is it the stock camber? Is that supposed to do that? Is the camber really necessary? And how long are these Pilot Sports supposed to last? Any info is more than appreciated. Thanks and sorry if this has been posted many times before.

Wow bald at 10k miles !! I have almost 13k on mine and they look great, I am sure mine will last at least 25k miles total. And I do drive hard most of the time and the roads here in jersey are pretty bad.

Re: TREAD WEAR

I have 4k on my 20's and they still look new and it cambers alot. I predict that my tires will last around 20k. Hopefully longer after I install the camber kit soon.

Re: TREAD WEAR

Your alignment is off. Have your local Infiniti dealership check it out. They re-aligned my car for free since I noticed that the same problem on my car.

Re: TREAD WEAR

My rears look like your fronts and I have 12.5k miles on them now. And I do drive hard, thats strange considering the terrible roads here in nj.

Re: TREAD WEAR

I sort of have the opposite problem. I have the Turanza touring tires on my Sedan. I autocross a couple of times a month. I need an excuse to upgrade to some summer rubber, but these darn things must be 60-80k mile tires.. they just won't wear out! I only have about 8,000 miles on them, but try as I might, I can't chew them up. [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: TREAD WEAR

yeah i guess it has to do with the roads here in south florida, they are real rough and have sea shell in it for better grip with all the rain.

Re: TREAD WEAR

dang your fronts look brand new. Mine are feathering and have little waves on the edges. I know it's ok on motorcycle tires, but I've never had this happen on car tires. The dealership said it's normal, they are just concerned if it wasn't wearing evenly across.

anybody else have feathering front tires? pilots
