How many miles did you guys replace your rear tires?
Just replaced my Super sports at 14,500 miles (Got a new set of Suoer Sports again )They had 4/32 and 5/32 tread left. Prob could have gone a bit longer, but wow. What a difference new tires make in regards to traction and ride. My dreaded flashing yellow traction light hasn't come on yet in a whole week. Wonder how long that will last! What is everyone getting on their rears? My front have a bit more left, maybe 7-8/32.

I'm going to get Michelins probably. Slicker the better for more traction in dry weather.?.I think Pilot Sport Cup 2s.. Wider the better.. Not good in the rain(!)

I replaced my tires at 12k (a set of 4)
But why did you replace them with 4-5/32 left? Usually you have to replace them at 3/32 In Europe they replace at 2/32 (1/16) with 1.6 mm tread left.

well, hitting 100 on the freeway won't induce tire spin. Taking off from a stop/red light will, thus eating the tread away faster......

Based on the penny test, when should u even begin to consider switching tires? Obviously there is more benefit on this type of a car.

Loss of traction isn't necessarily from tread wear - it's from compound change. Can have plenty of tread and poor traction if you have a bunch of heat/cool cycles on 'em. These PSS are awesome.
I switched my rears at around 12k and fronts at 20k.

At what PSI do you guys have set on your tires? I've been running around with 33-34psi cold; I'm sure tire pressure leads to a difference in thread wear
