I was slipping and sliding during a downpour two weeks ago. I checked my back tires and they were completely bald. Even worn on both. Front tires were fine. I went to a tire shop and found out threads were coming out and they would have completely blown in another 100 or so miles.
I told the tire guy I accelerate quickly often but never do burn outs on dry pavement...but am guilty of an occasional fishtail around corners
These stock tires cost around $200 and are more for corners than off the line acceleration. I ended up by some tough looking Michelins for the back--an inch wider, cool tread and more resilient rubber.
See was surprised to see an ecoboost do that kind of damage in 3500 miles. He said all wheel drive Audi's regularly get all 4 tires replaced at 8K miles.
Any similar stories out there?
