I got these tires in the middle of the summer of 2005. 275/40/17
Estimated tread life was somewhere in the 3,000-5,000 mile region.

The first couple of pictures are just of them on the car, showing them off and such... while the next couple are of the tread *as best I could show* at nearly 12,000 miles of fairly gentle driving.

This way, I can link people to the pictures, as well as just bring them up whenever I want when someone needs to see them. I've also got some pictures of my near death trap 245/45/17 Continental ExtremeContact's that have been on the car for about 35,000 miles, and have not been rotated in close to 15,000 miles. :-)

Now @ 12K-ish







Dangerously Bald Fronts:

Car_Ramrod

that is really awesome for like 12,000 miles on MT D/Rs man. i only hope the Barrel can fund your quest for new tires soon lol.

you think those front tires are bald? you should have seen mine before i got them replaced the other week, there was almost 0 tread on them, it was bad.

Wow, with 12k on em that just means you havent been using them properly! lol. Nice job on saving some cash by not having to get new D/R's every oil change basically.

those front tires dont look that bad.

The middle of the tread on my front tires isnt that bad, it's the side's that are shot to hell.

I havent rotated the tires in 15K and there isnt anywhere for the water to go.

After I get off the MT's this spring after a track stop, im switching to Sumitomo HTRZ's of some sort . 245/45/17 all the way around..

how much easier is it gonna be for me to break my 4.10's loose?

Flyingmau5

you're gonna have traction problems with 4.10s with sumis :P

I wouldn't be surprised if stock cars have traction problems with sumi's...
