Tire milage

I am running (or was) ContiSportContactâ„¢ 2 Vmax 315/25/19 and got less than 5,000 miles. Is anybody getting anything NEAR decent milage? What brands???

My PS2's have almost 8k in the rear with a lot to go. My alignment is not too aggressive in the rear becuase I do a lot of highway miles and that helps a lot.

What size are your tires? Mine's been lowered and I've had I've had adjustable links put on the rear so I can get the camber out. Mine wore perfect across, they just wore out with less than 5,000 miles on them. Zero time at the track and resonably tame street use.

same as yours. when i bought my car it had almost new conti tires that i went through in 5k miles as well. When I got the michelins I had the car raised about 1/4 inch and adjusted camber. Conti's are cheaper tires but I've learned you get what you pay for. Also, I like the PS2 becuase they are quieter (like it matters with the exhaust noise) and doesn't harden up like the conti's.

I got PS2's on my car and got roughly 9k with aggressive driving. I also have a very aggressive camber as well. I believe if you have stock camber set up you should be able to get atleast 15k. Thats what I was getting prior to my set up.

I get 5-6 K on rears and they are gone. I do three rears to one front, then change the fronts, as they are pretty worn at that point.
