Are my tires too stretched? Did I mess this up?

It won't take too long.

Mine were in pretty good shape honestly. Almost all highway miles. I must be doing it wrong.

Mine lasted less than 10K with the 981 - I think it's just based on your typical driving patterns. I used to be able to drive more expeditiously in DFW.

Same on the F80 - can't wait to replace the stock PS2s on the front, which have a decent amount of tread left.

They look like rubber bands by comparison.

the 4Ss in the rears look awesome, and I have noticed better traction with them as well. The hook up, especially from a stop, is effected with much less traction control interference.

You'll notice a big difference in the rain with the front PS4's.

But them now, keep your current tires for when you sell, or trade the car in.
