After 47k the factory pirelli's are gone. Religiously rotated and balanced every 5k with allignment (2xs). They still went were NOT down to the wear bar but tires had cracks and didnt want a failure in the places i drive. Did get the continental DWS's...wife works at continental so got all 4 shipped for 398.00. I then had to buy the lifetime balance and warranty plus got the 5 year allignment for another 320 bucks so hope i can get 50k out of em..will see! will keep you b7 fanatics like me posted!

 

2 dollars short of the nav system :-(

 

dang, that is good tire life.

 

My Pirelli's have 37K on it and they needed to be replaced 5K miles ago. I'm not sure what tire to get. I was thinking those Nitto NT850 series. Does anybody have those tires?

 

If you live where it snows, try the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. Recently dumped the Continentals, and it's night and day. Feels like a new car in the corners.

 

I have those.. good tires, directional pattern though.
