Hello,

When I bought the S, I had new S03's put on the very next day. I asked the shop for stock camber in the rear, and it seems they did a good job, because it handles well, and the guy that did it seemed knowledgable.


It has been 17,000 miles on these tires and they look like they have 50% tread left. I have never tracked the car, but I drive it hard and take corners fast. There's some wear, inside on the fronts, and more on the rear. I think I can get another 17,000 miles out of them.

Is that normal?

 

No, you should have that checked out.

 

Hahaha

 

I have 34,000 Km on original S02's I can't understand how they aren't bald yet On top of not being bald they are starting too crack from age! I need to burn the tread of fast!

 

Ha! Now that's definitely a first!

 

Be careful. As S02s get down in their treadlife, they tend to lose their stickiness. Many have reported being able to see tread, but still wonder why the back end came around on a curve.

Most report 10-15K miles TOTAL for rears. If you truely "drive it hard and take corners fast" you'd be on your 2nd or 3rd set.

Guess its time for a good burnout! Hehehehe

 

Both of you who have killer mileage are simply not driving your cars hard enough! Enjoy.

 

That is amazing. I have just purchased my fourth set of rear tires. Im on the second set of front tires. With ~33k miles. It seems to me that I get about 11k per set in the back. I dont think I drive overagressivly, but I would kill myself and everyone else on the road if I drove an SUV. Good luck keeping that rubber! Wish I could keep tires for at least a year.

 

Moving to "Tire/Wheel" forum.

 

S02's with low tread is VERY slippery.

I was sliding all over town towards the last days of the tire.

FELT awesome with a fresh new set of S-02

the S-03 last longer than s-02...so enjoy.
