Default Worn tires on my new S

I took delivery of my car a couple of weeks ago. I'm just now entering the VTECH zone!

The other day, however, I took a peek at the underside of the car and noticed that one of the rear tires appeares (according to the local tire shop) as though someone "spun" it on a surface that didn't give. There are a couple of quarter inch grooves in the tread all the way around the tires.

I've read about the importance of break-in....I'm certain it wasn't me.

I had the car trucked to me from the east coast...so, I'm not sure where this might have happened.

Other than that, the car is one VERY sweet set of wheels!

I put 10,000 kms on mine, and they're down 1/3 - 1/2 already......

and that zone to which you referred, has nothing to do with cordless phones.....its the VTEC zone!!

have fun
