Options are to (1) buy a new replacement RE050A, (2) buy a used RE050A, (3) if close to final life if tires, just replace all 4 tires.

Suggestions on tire life and what to do? Thanks.
I hit 7175 miles on my original sport package tires today, and now they are shot. I ordered Michelin Pilot Sports all weathers to replace them. I do not have anything bad to say about these tires and may eventually return to them.

I have never laid down rubber, yet at any rate. I have another week to go on these so I may give it a try.
