Tire Wear

[DocHolliday]

What kind of wear is everyone getting out of their current tires?..... I have a 01 V6 Sport that has 15k since new tires(eagles) and they are down to 5/32??? is this normal?
:confused:

It really depends on the type of tread rating your tires have. Each tire manufacturer will state the tread wear rating but that can sometimes be misleading. The reason is that a tread rating on Brand A tire may be 200 and Brand B will be 150. They may wear the same and last just as long. So, do your homework when selecting tires. Here's a link that talks about tire ratings:

I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for and this is so true with tires. Of course, an all-season tire will typically last longer than a performance tire.

What brand of tire are you currently running?

With my 2000 LS V6 - I got 50K out of my original Firestone Firehawks. I did a 5-tire, 3,500 mile rotation on them, though.

I'm on my second set of Firehawks at 76K and now doing the 5-tire, 5K rotation. They seem to be holding up fine.
