Hi - first time poster.

I have a 15 GT with 19K miles. It came with Pirelli Pzero (275/40 ZR19) tires.
Tires are original and I'm not aggressive. (Sad as it may sound, I have never lit up the rear end).

My issue - the left rear tire is completely worn out and the right looks to be about 1/2 life. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

 

Have you had the car for all 19k miles? One could have been replaced from a blowout?

 

Rear wheel alignment for starters. Without knowing what the wear actually looks like, it sounds like the settings are too 'aggressive' for the kind of driving you usually do, and there may be some thrust angle (unequal rear toes).


There's no shame in not having lit up the rear tires. Except once or twice in the wet to test the effectiveness of traction control, I haven't done that since my high school days (class of 1965).

Hi, Don't know if you figured this out yet but I have a 17 GT with the performance pkg and my rear tires went out at 8400 miles. The insides are fine but the center and outsides were shot!
