Right rear is completely bald now, left rear is about 3/32. Fronts are deep.

I can't seem to get away from Goodyear. If somebody can give me a firm offer on the other 2 Goodyears that are on the front of this car for $100 each, about 7500 miles on the front only...I'll trash the rear two, sell the fronts, get some Michelins and call it even. This most likely will cure all my vibration issues...

I've got 4500 miles and can tell the backs are wearing faster, but they still look good. By the way, how the hell can I do a burnout with all the wheel hop?

Nevermind about the wheel hop, guess it only happens where traction is starting to form. Just went for a ride. :lol:

6900 miles and mine look fine. BTW my front bumper valance was replaced recently, 'cause I can't stand scratches, but the dealer scraped up the new one nicely last week on a parking block. So they get to pay for a new one! We'll see how long it lasts.

14000K miles.. I was at the garage this morning getting my oil changed... guy said, "Nice slicks you got there... "

I went underneath and the insides of my rears have little but a small reminder of tread...

I swear, I didn't do it! Ok, I did, and it was fun, but this 1000 for 4 new tires is not too fun... nevermind, yes it is. :beer:

I got just over 20k on mine before I got a screw in one which couldn't be repaired. I replaced them with Continential ContiExtremeContat's. 275-40R17s from tirerack for around $130 per tire. They are all-seasons. They have been good so far. It's been too cold to give them a good run.

I have 12,000 on mine with plenty of tread left. I don't do burnouts b/c I don't want to buy tires once a year. :) I got 19K on my F1's on my 01 GT before I had to have them replaced.

750 Miles and ya know, a couple of my f1s already aren’t lookin’ so healthy. Called my local SVT dealer to inquire.:shrug:

called TSB: 0-60, Forward Lateral Rotational Wheel Motion To Forward Lateral Vehicle Motion Ratio Control Module Malfunction. It’s all good though, it can be fixed under warranty. But, it has to be performed every time you get in and drive it. The Fix is referred to as: KEEPIN’ YOUR DAMN FOOT OUT OF IT.:D

Think I’m going to pass on this one.:dw:

I have my F1's still on my car right now, but I plan on getting a set of nittos for the back asap. I will end up leaving the f1's on the seeing that they are a good road tire. :banana:

10,000 miles, lotsa tread, rotated every 3k miles. However, all I do is roll the tires, not really in a habit of running around doing burnouts.

I just rotated at 5k, now the fronts are probably 80% worn. In this freezing weather the tires will break loose easly in third. I have to drive with the traction control on all the time, other wise I would probably need 4 new tires by now. On that note anyone ever herd of these...

Yokohama AVS ES100, tire rack has them for $121 each.

I bought the ES100s the other week because my tires were bald and that was the best thing anyone had in stock short of $300 a piece michelins. They seam better than the stock eagles and for the price I can't complain. BTW, I got about 14,000 miles out of my eagles. If I hadn't gotten stuck in the snow and spun them till they were bald, they would have lasted longer. The fronts still had alot of tread life left. I even did a few huge burnouts with them in the past and never bothered to rotate.
