Look at my Tires!






Should I just chunk them and get new? The car has 15k and it is really only easy driving going to get milk and such from the store and that is really on the weekends. The only hard driving is the 3 time I have been to the dragon but nothing really crazy. I rotate them every oil change and I this oil change I noticed this. They aren't down to the wear indicators and they are the orig yokos. Now that I am looking at the pics it looks like the ones on the right side of the car are worse on the inside then the left side.

You need tires, plain and simple. I'd be getting those off there asap.

Oh well that sucks. I tell you the worst thing is not the buying new tires but the getting them installed and aligned without some guy messing up the rims on something else. I can just seem them pulling it up to align it and scrape the underside. This car is really just like off the showroom in April 06. Have to start searching around here do must people go to a dealer whether it is mitsu or some other. Maybe I will ask the Porsche dealership those cars are low and have expensive wheels.

That’s normal for 15k miles. You might be able drive them like that for another 2-3k miles or 2 track days, just keep a close eye on them and be careful driving in the rain.

dude you can keep those till they are pretty much bald and still have ample traction. I used mine at at the track (MSR) with less tread than that and still daily drove them for a couple months after that. Its in the rain, snow, and very cold roads that it becomes dangerous.
