This is what I was thinking. I'll be thrilled if I get over 10k from mine.

These were my stockers after 8k miles.

If youre getting 20k out of them you should look into a passat.

Stock camber on our cars is pretty mild. They will wear almost even.

They are asymmetrical, not directional. Rotating from side to side doesn't do anything unless you have a bad alignment.

OP isn't crazy. If you do a lot of highway miles, tires last longer. I drive ~95% of my miles on the highway. No stops + no starts + no turns = 27,000 miles before I had to replace my Bridgestones.

BTW....I have about 1,500 miles on my new Hankook K12 Evos and as others have mentioned, they are significantly quieter than the stocks. Nobody has mentioned this before, but they throw about 1/10 the number of rocks into the wheel wells, which is awesome since that damn noise was one of my pet peeves.

Pushing_Tin · 03-26-2011, 10:08 PM

Here is a shot of mine right before I replaced them at 11k.

1slow370 · 03-27-2011, 12:56 AM

my fronts looked like RCZ's rear's at 9000.

brado · 03-27-2011, 09:16 AM

my fronts arent wearing much at all for some reason. they still have 6/32 with 20000 miles.

When I looked at my tires while swapping out the wheels they were 1/2 done at 4k miles.
I don't expect more than 8-10k miles from the stock set.
