Tires

[MazdaMP]

Hey, I just got my
tires exchanged 1 week ago -
is that my driving style (hehe)
or is that a crappy quality of
the Dunlops?

I heard that our tires are only good for 20,000 miles. I haven't checked with Dunlop though. It would suprise me if Mazda did that to us - after no cruise control, ABS, or sunroof - but for some crazy reason I STILL LOVE IT!!!

The SP9000 is performance tires. It melt down faster than normal tires. I heard that the Audi S4 is having the same tires as we do(correct me if I am wrong).

but still, those tires didn't
last me 10000 miles!
I think that's mainly
my driving style, though!

My dunlop tires suck, two nails a slice in the side wall. well anyway new tire, but the cost on 1 is 200 plus, and i would have to wait 3-4 days, so i called around and im making a trade. im getting the new yokohama parada in a 215/40/17 for all 4 wheels at 300, witha trade of 2 s*** dunlop. shhhhhh. the yoko tire alone is 160.

Hey guys, the tread ware on our tires are 280. They're good up to about 20,000 miles but the guy at tire & warehouse said after 20,000 miles it'll be slightly useful. Cause there just performance tires and their suposed to stick on the road like glue and perform good. (Sp) sport 9000 dunlop's. But he also said if i come in every time to do business with him hil rotate my tires for (free) every 3000 miles, so the tires don't ware out quick.

 

[MazdaMP]

most places are gonna rotate
tires for free, at least that's
how it is in houston - discount tire
and NTB all do it for free

at discounttire.com they have kuhmo for 78 each i will prob order those after these wear out. i already had to replace one from getting a flat cost 189 plus installation. I know S4, sl500,s600 benz and some porches all come stock with sp9000 they must be very good. but expen$ive
