Angry tyre wear

13000 miles and i have worn my front tyres down to the legal limit.

surely this cant be right, i mean, i know 4 wheel drive wears tyres down quicker but c'mon 13000 miles with even wear?

wouldnt mind if i booted it everywhere but i dont that much.

these tyres were pirrelli p6000's i dont think i will be buying them again.

any preferences with you boys and girls over there?

any pos or neg comments will be appreciated.

brian.

Re: tyre wear

if i were you performance wise i would go with the nitto 555 there only downfall is wet tractionso..
but the tires i run which in my opinion are the best you can put on a 3000 are the toyo proxes t-1s awesome tire you should look into that one . kinda pricey though

Re: tyre wear

I have sumitomo's htrz2s or something like that. If your alignment is off you will wear down tires quicker. You might want to get that checked. Also check out www.tirerack.com, I have bought tons of tires from them and always save plenty of money.

Im going with Toyo proxy T1-S's. I have yet to hear of a person who did not love them more than any other tire they have had, and they are only a $150 each for 245/45ZR17.

damn i dont think they are available here. im in the uk.

anyone heard of khumo ecsta tyres?

they seem to be good value over here but dont know how they rate.

its a possibility i may get them shipped from the u.s. your prices are so much cheaper than over here for most things.....
