Time for some new tyres

[sketchey]

Could be the photo, but bridgestone's have a rounded edge profile. Here's a photo of a new tyre for comparison:

I'm pretty sure the same applies for most tyres, unless you go old school and get the cheap czech made tyres with high plastic content that get flat bottomed and squared in the heat.

It is hard to tell from the photos without some sort of 'scale' in the tread of the tyre, but if you look at the centre groove on your tyre it looks meaty as, meanwhile going from the bottom fully visible outside groove all the way to the 6th groove above they look fairly worn and feathered. All I am saying is your photo doesn't conclusively show what you are saying, hence people are taking your comments with a grain of salt.

I have Bridgestone potenzas on my ssv and I have been running on the max inflation pressure their whole life and my Tyres are worn on outside edge exactly the same.

I don't do burn outs or drive stupid and have got 32,000 out of them with regular balance and wheel alignment.
They are a good tyre but wear too fast IMOP.

I got 55000 out of my bridgies. Didnt baby them at all and had the pressure at 40psi

From what i can tell, they're great

Any one used Dunlop sport max Tyres?
I can get a set for $280 fitted but havn't heard much about them
Tyre shop said retail is usually around $500 and they rate them.

I'm not the biggest fan of them myself.
They have great turn in response, but they aren't the best gripping tyre out there. They will initially slip when turned hard, then they grip (not proffered for emergency situations) or the most confidence inspiring when driving hard.

Hope this helps,
Glenn.

Hmm, i have received offers for Falken ZE912, Kuhmo KU31 and Michelin PS3's. I found very mixed views on the ZE912's, a lot of complaints on the Kuhmo KU31's from tread levels 50% and less and the PS3's were quoted at just over $400.00 each! Fkn ripoff.

So, i still keep searching, and searching, and searching.

UFO, did you take my reply offensively?
Wasn't meant to be. I thought it was a polite way of saying "look before you leap". Just because You & Others get bad wear life from RE050's doesn't mean all users have the same experience (In your upper case shouting words "NO ONE") is unfounded as I have tried to point out:hmmm:

No dude, of course not!
I was trying to be funny... hence the picture.
Happy to agree to disagree, I was just making a little fun at your reasoning is all.
All good here mate :beer chug:.

I paid $279 each for Michelin PS3's in 235/40/ZR18 about 3 months ago.
