Just curious if anyone else had the factory tires go bold just on the rears just on the inside tread at less then 11k miles?

Any mods to suspension or springs?

my (deadler) mechanic put mine on the lift - took a quick look, and said "You take this baby on some curves"
inner tire wear comes from aggressive cornering also (just about at 11,000 miles) |

And no mods to suspension but maybe I will do that next instead of headers and hi flow cats |

I wouldn't say that your wear is insanely premature but it is a BIT early... I have 18k on the stockers and they need replacement. Picking up some RE-11s next week.

I had 19,990 miles on my Bridgestsone Potenza RE-50s and the rear's were worn out. Front's were almost out at the time. The RE-50s are good for handling but have shitty tread life (140AA).
The RE-11s are better tires with a 180AAA rating. For me, I swapped my RE50's with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Ultra High Performance All-Season) tires. I have had a little over 20,000 miles on these tires and they are amazing. Still going strong and looking to get another 20k out of em [hopefully ]. The tread rating on these tires are 500AAA. The only downside is that they pretty expensive. I got these tires because I got a crazy commute. Hope this helps. |
