Default RE050 Tire Life

I'm right at 10K and I won't get much more out of these tires. Fronts seem barely worn. I was hopeing for a little better wear.

I got 20k before I swapped out the rears, but over half of those miles were highway miles. 2 auto-x and 1 trip to the Dragon

Actually you can get some really long life out of these tires if you swap them every 7500 miles. Just flip the 2 fronts and change their direction do the same with the rears. Costs about $100....lots cheaper than getting new tires.

The Arizona club has been doing this with good results.

I'm getting pretty even tire wear in back running European specs. I did notice the centers have more tread. I'm nowt putting in 34 PSI to correct that.
