I guess its time to replace these

4 years and I knew these were close to cording. I let it go a little too long for sure. Dont have the exact mileage, I switch wheel sets a lot. On the odo it was 31k so its probably 5k less than that. Over 3 deg of front camber and 2deg rear.

luckily, I have some (even balder, but not nearly corded) 200tw tires to run for a few days while I wait for a new set to ship.

even though its winter and Wisconsin I think I’m going to throw another set of summers on and park it for a few months, daily the truck.

You got every last penny's worth.

man, thats so far on the edge I wonder if it could have been the toe setting and not so much the camber?

Somewhere there's a guy worried to rev it over 5K because he thinks the car will just fall apart. This is how a Mustang was meant to be driven!

its a Michellin thing. All the MP4S and MPSS seem to do it. My toe gets checked regularly.

They’re just very thin rubber at that spot, I think its probably engineered into the tire, or its a combination of the design and the Ford’s strut front suspension. The rears run the most toe and they dont wear that spot nearly as badly as the fronts.

to be fair, these were very dangerous in light rain with them worn through like this. Car was squirming all over at highway speeds. I had to slow down quite a bit. I was trying to hold out until the car went into storage for the winter. You’re not even really supposed to drive them below freezing and I’ve been using them a bit on 20 degree days to try to last until my daily is back.

ironically the bald Yokohama A052s are ok down to 14*F (according to Yokohama) which is pretty cold for a summer tire, although they do say performace drops off below 45.
