Installed the snow wheels today. We already had our first snow this past sunday, almost 6" in my area!
The michelin pss that came off had about 7 1/2 to 8/32's left after 6300 miles. At this rate, should good for at least another 10K miles. I didn't measure the fronts. We'll see how much is left this time next year. I'll be a happy camper if they get at least 20K.
That would be a miracale to get 20k out of them unless you drive like an old lady

I don't accelerate or brake hard. I do drive fast and corner aggressively though. That should amount for something . The oe re050a's had over 18 or 19K when they reached around 4/32". I was hoping these would last as long. I'll update next year.

well if your sig is correct and your in Ci town then I'd assume your running a winter set w/o the soft/sticky PSS's so that should also play a factor. Either way, goodluck!

Yup, the numbers i mentioned earlier references actual mileage on the tires, no just on the odo. I'm one of those that keeps a detailed log anytime I do anything to the car; date, mileage, service performed. There's even a field for how many miles ago the same service was done - can see at a glance mileage between oil changes, tire changes, etc.
I should probably measure the fronts too to see just how fast those are wearing. With the re050a's, it would have amounted to 2 sets of rear to 1 set front.
Did a few basic mods today, listened to J37x and swapped my interior bulbs to a nice white instead of the oem yellow. Found a 9 bulb kit off eBay for like $8 + free shipping so I said why not. Was definitely picky about the bulb color though, not a fan of the leds that have more of a "blue" output compared to the nice "white" oem looking ones.
I did the entire inside, trunk, and plate lights.
Also I really didn't feel like paying $40 for bumper plugs so i DIY'd them and I think they turned out pretty nice! I had to add 2 more holes because the way the dealership drilled in the plate, it left indents from the drill bit which I did not like at all. So I drilled in 2 more holes and covered those as well. Instead of using oem touch up paint (went to local dealer, they were out of it so they ordered it for me, however didn't feel like waiting) I feel the duplicolor matched pretty well. I mean they're just bumper plugs? Anyways, started prep+paint of plugs last night, drilled and installed today. Overall I'm happy with them!
ps sorry for dirty car, it's about to snow this weekend so she will be washed after that
I got new serpentine belt, wheel hub assy, spark plugs, power steering fluid and 2 TPMS.
All needs to be installed.
I lost
Infinity logo from the engine cover, I suspect it got hacked off when I left my car for oil change
Will get ramps and start doing my own oil changes from now on.

The engine cover logo is notorious for falling off on its own. It's pretty much a matter of time. I wouldn't give the shop a hard time about it.
