Can I get more life out of these tires?

Luckily I ordered new rims and tires yesterday. I only have 12,000 miles on these and only been to the track three times on them. No burnouts at all aside from scrubbing them at the track or it spinning while rolling. :p

I never changed from stock, check them regularly. I dropped them the first time at the track and promptly put them back to stock settings.

Could mixing air with nitrogen do anything to pressure? I've never had nitrogen filled tires before.

Lol. I'm limping around right now until Monday. I ordered two 18x9 and two 18x10 AMR RTR style wheels and the nittos. I'll see what I can do then.

No. Nitrogen is in your tires all the time.. the air we breathe has nitrogen. To maintain the proper nitrogen properties in your tires the % has to be 93.7% or greater. That wear pattern is over inflation and possible heavy right foot.

They just need a little burn out to even out the tread. Then we can consider them slicks and we can go racing. With that said they are good to go! lol
