Dunlops are all season, the potenzas are summer. They are made for different purposes not really an apple to apple comparison.

Well the Dunlops on our Journey had 16k miles on them and two if the tires were pretty bad. But .... who knows if the original owner ever rotated them, etc. I kept two of the Dunlops as emergency spares. We now go Blizzaks in the winter and the Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions for summer.

Now, before someone points out you go with Winter tires in winter and All Season in the summer, why not go summer tires in the summer. My wife drives the car Mon - Fri as a commuter abut 40 miles one way. She doesn't drive aggressively so I went with all season because of wet roads, wet leaves, chance of snow (before switching to the blizzaks), etc.

I think I can squeeze another 3-4K out of them though, but I'll probably have new tires before then.
Yeah im not droped thats why I thought it was a bit wierd. Maybe I hit a bump or something that fuked up my wheel alignment.

you would have to hit a pretty big bump to jack an allignment up (like a pothole at 40 mph)

just make sure after a drop to get an alignment, and if/when you do just ask them to get it as close to spec as possible. also, toe effects tire wear even more than camber

Got you all beat, I have nearly 50K on my original stock POTENZA shoes and still going strong. I will change them this weekend though any suggestions on which tires? I have G37S '08 19' rims obviously. Thinking about going with something other than stock.

Either that's the biggest bold face lie or you drive slower than a snail. I really do not see how you can get 50K miles on hte stock Potenza's.
