did they have inner or center section wear? are they wore down uniformly?a very good buy for the re50 replacement is the sumitomo z3, it's rated slightly better than the oem replacement at 100 a pop

How many miles did you put on them in two months time?!?That's crazy. I have never had a set wear that quickly. I have the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW2 but, that would be overkill for you it seems. What about the Kuhmo Ecsta MX?

Didn't you ask this same question before? Or was it someone else?Anyway, have you done an alignment?

x2 Have these on my S too.. Very happy w/ the purchase, but I did notice that it did have a bit of tire flex on the twisties.. other than that, its a good overall tire..

Seriously 2 months?!?seriously did you bother to do an alignment when you got the tires? how long did the previous set last you? was an alignment done then?

wear ratings can only be compared within a manufacturer.A yokohama 300 is unline ANY other 300 on ANY other manufacturer. So a Yokohama 300 could mean a 15000 mile tire or a 1000000 mile tire if you dont know how to compare it. Compare the yokohama 300 to another yokohama that has a mileage warranty to see where the 300 stands. Parada spec2s suck, though. the OP hasn't answered if he got an alignment or not. Nobody else besides me and one other person thinks that wearing out tires in 2months MAY have something to do with an alignment? The hardest compound tire in the world may wear out in a few more months if the alignment is that bad. How many miles did you drive in 2 months?

word. but there isn't a tire that's good on track that is going to last long at all. if you went through tires in 2 months...with no track time or burn-outs... then you have alignment issues bad. or you are just drifting the shti out of your car and not admitting it. if your not going to go on track, get something with atleast a 400 wear rating if you want them to last a decent amount of time. my tires are khumho mx's and have a 200 wear rating. they've lasted a year (10k) and were under 100$ a piece for stock size. they seem about halfway down right now.

That's odd...My RE-01 R rears have 7k miles on them, and plenty of tread life left...

Yeah...my tires went for a while also. I figure I would get around 15k out of them if I didn't track them. Alignment specs, people, alignment specs. Anyway, the OP hasn't replied. He probably remembered to get an alignment and was embarassed of this thread.

All I got was 8K out of the stock RE-050's and another 9K out of BFG KD's on the rear. Getting ready to install new KDW's on the rear...we'll see what I net with them. I guess I am harder on them at the track and auto x than i thought.

No. Beautifiul men say they're beautiful. I'm comfortable with my beauty. Dude, I'm so beautiful that girls get catty around me. Then they f$%k me. That's how the story always ends.
