Can you believe this

I know this thread doesn't belong here but its a slow night. so flame on...

yes the factory 19' RAYS look damn good imho and we all know how loud the bridgestone tires are but my 09 just turned over 20,000. i know i daily drive
but the dang tires still have over half the tread left. i bet i get another 6 or 7
thousand out of them. i don't know if thats good or bad news.

i know a lot will say its all BS but the only thing iv'e done is rotate from side to side. and the tread wears very even...

I have almost 30k miles, and the tires look AWESOME. They don't hook up as well anymore, so I will get loopy on tight turns, but plenty of tread.

shadow2k · 03-25-2011, 09:17 PM

Same here, I'm at 20k as well. I keep checking the tires every couple of weeks, because I thought these were rated at around 20k. They don't look like they'll need replacing anytime soon.

I think many of us who don't peel out all the time are probably in the same boat. I drive fast, but I rarely ever break the tires free.

It also varies based on the type of roads you drive on. Smoother the roads, the more mileage you'll get out of your tires.

PapoZalsa · 03-25-2011, 09:21 PM

Is just the type of driving you do, aggresive or non-aggresive, spirit driving.

sonic370 · 03-25-2011, 10:03 PM

Yeah that makes sense. I do have fun with my car but very seldom
break the tires loose

brado · 03-25-2011, 10:10 PM

i only got 18500 out of mine. all of my driving is on the interstate though. i dont know if its the same on cars but i know when i ride my cbr on the interstate for a while after i get off the bike and rub my hand across the tire rubber will be on my hand.

KillerBee370 · 03-25-2011, 10:21 PM

I have 150,000 miles and mine still look like this...

It's because you all drive like girls.

Accelerator is on the right. Try pushing it all the way to the floor sometimes.

200 miles on mine and they're gone!

Rotate? Isn't it directional?

I don't think it does, but it's kind of pointless. They should be wearing the same amount technically.

I got rid of my tires at 800 miles, don't have to deal with the crap050 again

I thought inner should be wearing more than outside b/c of negative camber
