Just installed a set of hankook ventus v12 (245 front and 275 rear) and thought I'd show y'all my tires. Everyone says the stock potenzas are gone after 15-20k. These tires had 33,012 miles on them and all 4 tires had 4/32 of tread left. No they aren't new but they definitely last longer than people say they do. The tire in the pic is my front tire. I'm dropped on eibachs and have had the car aligned. It took maybe 10-15k miles to destroy the inside of my tires. So for everyone who thinks you don't need camber arms with eibach think again. My rear tires wore dead flat all the way across as I suspected they would since they have adjustable camber from the factory. Just a little food for thought.

 

It all depends on style of driving, weather, and many other variables, and I bet not every tire is created equal.
Mine lasted ~5000 miles.

 

all how you drive lol.

 

word....i can go through 2-3 sets of rear tires before my fronts need changing lol

 

Y'all must make more than I do then cause $1138 every 10k is way out of my price range haha. And fwiw, I've done burn outs, slides, etc and beat on this car religiously and still got 33k out of them. Driving consisted of highway, city, wet, dry, hot, cold, aggressive, and docile over all sorts of terrain and road types.

 

Its not the income that matters...its where you shop haha. Ive never spent over $700 for a full set of tires. Though i usually only need rears more often....when i was running 20's i could get a set of Falken 452's for under 400 shipped if i shopped right. Im running 18's now which tires are considerably cheaper. Once my 245's on my 18's are done im going with 275's which will still only run me $325 shipped for yoko s drives. Bridgestones are highly overpriced IMHO

 

I hated my potenzas. Goodyear, bridgestone, and Firestone will never be seen on any of my vehicles.

 

I flipped my stocks and got more use out of them.

 

I thought about that but said screw it and just bought new tires. With only 4/32 tread it was time to anyways.

 

What's installation run ya?

 

Free....good friend is a manager at Goodyear

 

It's always great to have hook up's. Can we be friends? lol jk.

 

These days, "hookups" are priceless, especially with the cost of retailers and labor costs these days haha

 

Well hell in that case I could afford tires more often haha

 

Why do you need camber arms if you can get it to within spec? If it wont go to within spec then yeah
