what are people seeing for life on stock contis i just rotated them today and there a 1/16 of an inch difference from to back at 2500 miles. just trying to see what kind of life i can expect and i do drive pretty agressive

 

Mine lasted 1 year...I drove about 10-15g miles though

 

I have 6800 miles and i have 2 trips to the track on the fronts rotated em twice and both fronts and back are down to the tread wear indacators

 

they suck.... plan on getting tires early, I got lucky(I guess, lol) in that my front end was unaligned and had a bad wheel bearing... caused one of my tires to get some real bad wear on the inside of it(and I had a pull to the left at highway speeds)... they replaced all 4 tires at about 4500 miles.... the fronts were already in need of rotating, probably past due....

one year of the Spec-V Sentra had continentals on it, the day I bought my car my friend who used to own a Spec-V Sentra with those tires saw my tires and said "those won't see 10,000 miles"...........I thought he was exaggerating, but I think he may just be right

 

6500 miles rotated front to back on wear marks 3 trips to the track

 

AZ must have gentle roads or something, because my ss/sc got over 32k on the stock Pirelli's, with room to spare, and I've put 10k on these Conti's, and they still have plenty of tread left.

Or maybe I really am a Sunday driver.

 

mine are about shot... same with my buddys he replaced his at around 8k... mine are getting pretty bad too i have 12.5k

 

I must really be a Sunday driver. I have 18k on my SS/TC and a decent amount of tread left. I'm hoping to make it through summer with the stockers.

 

I have 15k miles on mine and it looks like i might get another 10k out of them. Then again I forgot about getting the stage kit so it will be less than 10k. Not saying I have the stage kit just saying I will.

 

yea i dont really see mine lasting past 10k im very surprised at the tread life.

 

LOL I have 5k on mine and all I can say is the same thing at 10kk they are gunna be toast ..

 

I wanted to get all-seasons as early as possible, but it sounds like I can just use the stock Conti's until they wear out.

Is there a tendency for the fronts to wear out faster than the rear in normal driving? What about the sidewall edges on the fronts? The few SS/TC's I've seen in the dealer lots all have noticeable wear on the outer edges of the front, no doubt from fast turns.

Front always wear faster on front wheel drive - hence the need to do regular rotations. As for side wear, that does depend on your driving style, but also on your maintenance - keep them properly filled and your wear should be relatively even.

 

my tires were at the wear bars at around 14k miles.

 

I believe the manual provides estimated lifespan of the Continentals, if I remember correctly it was somewhere in the range of 25,000km. That's about 15,000 miles, so peoples numbers are pretty much in line with what it communicated.

 

Is there a way I can wear them out faster without doing smoking burnouts, like overinflate them? I want to use them all up and switch to all-seasons as soon as I can.

 

lol um then just switch them. Or give them to me. I'll wear them down for ya haha

 

Overinflate them, corner real hard, big burnouts, and E-brake drifts.

 

speaking of.... what do ya think, rotate every 5-6 k ? or 6-7 k ?

 

rears at 8k are GREAT, fronts are down to the worn indicator things and I have 2 1/4 runs and a few sick burn outs under my belt lol with all the power I am making now I use to spin the **** outa them but now I am easy untill i get some sick tires

 

yea these tires suck! mine only make it 7500

 

*Moved to Wheels and Tires*

 

8k and i didnt pass inspection with them. im kinda pissed. they wore evenly and i havent been to the track yet. also, i dont drive like an idiot. i got Kuhmo Ecsta MXs to replace them
