Why would it be 30 on the fronts and only 15 on the rear? If your running a 225/255 combo then you can't rotate front to back, just side to side. But, what happens if someone is running a square setup with 255 f/r. Would the gaurantee then get moved to 30k?

Does anyone know exactly how the warranty works? I run 255 non staggered so I would be eligible for the full 30k but I can guarantee they would not make it close to 30,000 miles.

My understanding is that you would have a 15k mile warranty. However if you have some kind of wacky alignment or track your car regularly, you'll probably void that warranty.

Here is a link to the warranty information. There is a 70.00 mail in rebate on four right now. If I can help let me know.

Yes, I considered these tires as well because Pirelli was advertising them as in the class of the highest performance tires available, yet with much longer tread life than average, which would bring the overall cost down below tires such as the RS3 and SS. However, most of the guys that track their cars convinced me that they were definalty a step below the SS or RS3, so I chose the RS3.

But, they are far far higher performance than your previous tires as you have noticed.
