My car has 26,000 miles and is still on its OEM Bridgestones. I always hear of S2000s wearing out their rear tires first but I think my front tires are going to have to be replaced before the rears. The inside 1-2 inches of both tires are wearing out. At this point they are almost slick with no tread there at all. After I noticed the problem I had an alignment done. The readings given to me showed all points within spec before being realigned so that's not the issue.

My car is 100% stock. I drive pretty aggressively and enjoy tossing the car around. I've attended one DE so far on these tires (where they seemed to wear evenly).

Has anyone else experienced this? Any insight/advice would be appreciated

 

Wow... you got 26K out of your front tires?!?!? and still have the rears!?!?!


Congrats!

For me... rears every 10Kish and fronts every 16Kish. Stock alignment, stock RE070s.


For that mileage to be true... you my friend are NOT driving aggressively.

 

Haha, I dunno what to say man. I attack on ramps but I don't slide through them. I've only been to one DE event thus far and my instructor said that by the second day I was driving as fast through the turns as possible with those tires.

I bought the car with 4800 miles, so about 22,000 of the wear has been from me. I don't autox anymore b/c after DE events they just don't thrill me anymore.

That's some crazy mileage.

 

I dunno what to say. My dad has an S2000 and he admittedly babies it. 32,000 miles on the front tires I believe.

I'm not sure what it is. I chirp a tire all the time when pulling out onto streets, lol.

 

Toe off?

 

With the -camber I think it's normal to ware out the inside of the tire faster doing street driving. My street tires always ware out the inside first, my track tires always ware out the outside if I don't flip them.

I go thru fronts faster than rears and I get even ware on the rears.

O yea 26K mi. wow! I have 14K on mine and its time for the 3rd set, but I run soft tires.

 

yeah man thats impressive. My tires only lasted 3k miles, never in my life have tires gone so fast and I was complete shocked.. Driving down the road I hear *slap* *slap* *slap* *slap* I pull over thinking something got caught in my wheel. I felt around and it turned out to be a strand of rubber that was peeling off. Feel the tire and its slick all the way across FFFFUUUUU

anyway, i suspect your alignment may be off if your car is stock height.

 

Mine are currently doing this although its limited to the inner most tread patch. My alignment is off and is getting fixed tomorrow before my tire blows up

 

my front tires are having the same issue. I thought i read somewhere awhile back that this is normal wear for the front tires.
