I don't understand how some of you get such good mileage out of the RE 050's. I have never broken the tires loose on dry pavement and very seldom when it is wet. I am running UK alignment. The tires are wearing pretty evenly, except it looks like I could have used a pound or two more air in the rears.

I am just over 10K miles and close to needing new rears. Fronts look good for at least the life of another set of rears.

Can there be much of a difference in tread wear from one batch of tires to another?

 

It's the UK alignment. It's a lot more aggressive and will eat through tires faster.

 

I'm lowered and have been running an "aggressive street" alignment for at least 15k miles on the stock tires. Maybe it could be something simple as rough pavement that could eat up tires faster...

 

My rears were slippery at 13k. The fronts were not quite as gone, fronts probably would have lasted 'til 20k or so. I replaced all my tires last week at 14k. It's like driving a whole new car, I can stick to the road on turns now, hehe.
