how many miles did you guys put on your stock RE040's before you got new rubber? i have around 5k miles...and man...the center tread rib is pretty much bald...those notches are gone...the tires are gettin pretty worn down (i am 18 years old tho...probably went at em a little harder than most people )

 

Are they over inflated?

 

I think you just answered your own question.

 

15K miles....

i got BFG KDW and the treadwear on those are high, get those..best bang for the buck imo

 

1500 miles. I swapped them out, for All-Season tires as soon as I could. RE040's SUCK, imo, so I wanted to get off of them ASAP.

 

Dont know what your referring too but I got 8k miles on my 05 Z and my tires look and ride good.

 

lol no theyre not over inflated, kept em around 34-36 as they suggested...but i made several runs through the dragon (aka deals gap north carolina)...& yeah i figured it was mostly my fault...said they have a 4.5 on the treadwear scale of 10 on tire rack tho...thought maybe they just wore out fast & my lead foot didnt help em...regardless i dont burn em up like i did when i first got the car (was my first sports car..gimmie a break..had to have fun)

 

About 15k on the rears, fronts will probably reach the wear bars before 20k (have about 17,700 now). Replacing with Yokohama Advan S4.

 

Mine have about 8000 on them, and they seem to be 1/2 way dead.

 

11,000 miles here and still look pretty new

 

My rears are almost bald at 16k miles with 2 track days on them. Fronts still have about 30% tread left.

 

15k, front look pretty good 60%+, rear has maybe 50% tread or less. Not bad after 4-5 autocrosses.

 

Make sure to not get them again when they're shot.

 

I agree. Right now I'm considering either KDW-2s or Eagle F1's for when the stocks wear out.

 

yeah i know..ive read the tire rack bar thing...seems they pretty well suck compared to other tires...im lookin at Yokohama AD07's, Toyo T1R's or maybe BFG KD's...i dont understand why you need KDW...if its wet you should be taking it easy...you're driving a rear wheel drive sports car...no need for great "wet cornering" ability..just dry cornering ^.^

 

Pittsburgh gets its fair share of rainy weather. I've read good things about those tires, and its nice to have a tire that gets better traction. Cant argue with that.

 

Eagle F1's have the best wet traction rating out there I believe. Still, I don't put them to the test when its wet & raining, lol..they hold extremely well but there's no way I'm going to floor it around a corner. Regardless, very very noticable grip in the wet.

Dry cornering is amazing, I have a hard time breaking them loose as opposed to accidentally sliding every other turn with the RE040's.

 

I got 20k on my stockers, the rears were just past the wear indicator, the fronts I kept and are in my garage have ~ 35% left. ALL HIGHWAY MILES, NEVER TURNED A WHEEL...

BFG KDW2 FTW!

 

BINGO!

 

bridgestone re40=> 20k miles and about 25% left.

probably will buy new rims since since tires are already expensive.
