How much tread do the other 3 have on them? I'm looking for 1 or 2 with about 6/32 left on them. I had a screw in the sidewall at 10K :-(

i noticed that my front driver side tire is wearing faster than the others. now i rotate my tires regularly and it somewhat cured the problem.

either the man pic or the other dude, the short hong kong actor 8)

One of the nice things about the Falken Azenis Sports I have is that they're not directional, so I can rotate them left-right as well as front-back.

I just rotated my tires back to the rears when I noticed that the fronts were bald on the outer edge. I heard this is an alignment issue and that Mitsu will prorate the tires to get you new ones. Not sure what that entails, but may save you some cash. I'm lookin to buy some new ones soon. But I might see what type of rebate I can get for these tires from Mitsu.

I'm actually looking at some Sumitomo's I heard that they are pretty good. Tell me what you think. Good/Bad? They are cheap (kinda like the Faulkins) but I heard they last longer.

I know Joe H of local autocross fame runs Sumitomos (HTR Z II?) on his stock wheels for street driving; I asked him about them and he said they're "okay". I don't know if they're any good for auto-x.

get an alignment.

BTW, my tires went bald after 6k due to lots of autocrossing and homegrown alignments gone wrong.

ok almost 14k here and all the insides of my tires are bald just in the first section. is this bad alignment or camber issues

camber does not kill tires. Toe kills tires.

you should check your alignment

camber does not kill tires. Toe kills tires.
Also, autocross kills tires. :wink:

Shit I got 8k out of my first set, and damn near tore up an entire snow set in 6 months. Consider yourself lucky! When you get new tires get a proper alignment at a specialty shop.
