I read through majority of this thread and I see that most people have had good success with the Hankook Ventus V12 evo tires. I currently have a set of these tires on my 05' 6mt coupe (245/40/R19). These tires were installed by the dealership before I purchased the car about 8 months ago. They have about 12k on them and the thread is currently at 2/32 for 3 out of the 4 of them and 3/32 for the last one. Is it normal for these tires to wear that fast? Also, i replaced the rear brake pads about 5 months ago with ceramic duralast pads and they are currently 80 percent warn. The front pads haven't been replaced since i purchased the car and they still have more wear left in them (oem pads) then the ceramic duralast. It just doesn't seem right to me, that the tires and rear brakes have warn down this fast. Does anybody have any suggestions or advice on what may be an underlying issue or is this an issue i should expect to happen continuously?
