sydewaysix Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Here are my current tires. I'm on the fence as to whether I need to replace them now or if I can get a few more trackdays out of them. They ate bridegstone re01r's. This is the driver side front tire. Notice that the outer edge of the tire has no more tread but the middle part of the tire has plenty of tread remaining. This is the rear driver side tire. All three the other tires aside from the driver front are pretty much in the same condition. Notice that there is still lots of tread depth remaining on the outer edge and middle section of the tire: Should I replace them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerkat Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Do they still have good grip? Can you see the cord any where? Are these also you DD tires? Do you want new tires and trying to find support for getting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want new tires and trying to find support for getting them? Yes, they still feel like they have good grip and no cords are showing. The tires and car are not used for DD purposes. Although I'd love new tires, I'd prefer to continue using these if they're still "safe" to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I would have the ones with edge wear "flipped" on the wheel to even things out (and possibly add some additional front camber), but otherwise they appear fine to me in those pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydewaysix Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks all! I'll get the tires flipped and rotated then add .5 degrees of negative camber. Hopefully this will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
