Default SO2's With 17,000 Miles

Hey,

Just thought Id share a pic of my tires that I stretched out as much life as possible. Living in Vegas the rain is limited so that took away some of that safety concern. I probably won's stretch the new set as far, just for safety reasons.

Yeah that doesn't even look like you're down to the wear bars. Always safer to buy new rubber though...not sure I'd trust the compound any more on those.

Incredibly even wear pattern though.

I wasn't down to the wear bars when I replaced my rears, but I did notice I didn't have the grip I had before.

Mine were down to wires and had to replace them yesterday....California is gettting rained on pretty hard right now. I have some Toyo Proxes (used ones) that I got for $150 for all four...These should last until I get some money to buy some Yoko AVS Sports for my new Volk LE28Ns.
