tires are done already?
tires are done already?
so basically i took my car into the dealer to get my oil changed and he looks at my tires and goes wow their bald.
and then he goes wait no their done already. with only 7,000 miles can that even be right?
i dont burn rubber that much...
atleast i still got two brand new ones on back...HAHA!

I've got 6k miles on mine and I can spin half way through second now, and they feel like they might be slipping around a little more as well.
I need to rotate them, but I am surprised that I am having a problem with them already.

hey, 90% of the time i drive normally, I just like to drive quickly sometimes.
I have to wonder how long these tires have been on the car, before I bought it though. I think that it sat in a dealers lot for a long time before I bought it. Dont know if that makes any difference

I have about 9k and see no signs of giving up yet. If you don't it like tard all the time and rotate them you should get a good deal of miles out of them, not as good as most but sum what close. If I get 20k out of them I will be happy.
I have 26,000 on the stock tires. I still have a little bit of tread left in them. You guys must burn rubber all the time. I never ever burn rubber nor do I take her through lots of twisties. i also drive like a grandma though...

Examples:
DOT A143 C3D5 1504
or
DOT A143 C3D5 158
The first 8 digits designate the tire style, type, factory, etc. the last four are the date in weeks and year. 15th week of 2004. If three digits it is for the 90's: 15th week of 1998.
Just so you know, tires have a lifespan of 5 to 6 years. Any more and you need new tires. I replace mine at 4 years no matter what. But technically the dealer isn't supposed to let you leave the dealership with tires older than 1 year whether you bought new tires or they came on the vehicle.
My car came with the continentals, and I spin my tires to about 2500 rpms in first. 700miles on 'em.

A nice way to check and see how old your tires are. There is a thing called a DOT number on your tires. Look for the DOT followed by a series of 11 or 12 number/letter combo. Then at the end, the last 3 or 4 numbers tell you the tire date.

DOT A143 C3D5 1504
