10K - 12K miles seems about average for the rear tires on my car too. I got about 10K on the rears of my OEM Bridgestones and I'm now on my 5th or 6th set of rear tires in 65K miles. It gets a bit expensive, but it's worth it IMO!

What do you use for rubber? Looks like I’m right in that window too

All this rubber talk. I can't wait to test out the new tires. First time the G will have true summer tires instead of all seasons.

I still have my duck feet in my crawl space. I put them up for sale and got zero bites. If I could find a pair of rears for cheap I might consider running all seasons half the year and summer tires for the other half....

I wish I could do that. Too bad the temps drop below 7°C around the beginning of November, and don't get back above till like beginning of May around here. Even when there is no snow, the all seasons cant brake properly when its that cold. I tested my Yokohama Advan Sport A/S in 2°C, and my stopping distance was about 16 feet more than my winters.

Super late post, but here's an image of my Stillen system. It's been about 2 months now since it's been installed, and I am still in love with it.


**I also blacked out the chrome trim around the windows. This too was around the same time.

I sold my duck feet’s for 450 locally. I kinda wish I kept them to run A/S tires on during “winter”.

I haven’t driven my car in over a week

Had my A/C charged again. Lost almost no refrigerant in seven months so have to conclude my A/C problem is the control unit.

I still have the duck feet... and all the original parts for that matter. It’s very tempting to dump them but I don’t know if there will be a market for a part out when the time comes.
