Do you get similar mileage out of other tires you have used? Just curious how falcons compare to others in your experience.
That is a very decent wear pattern.

I'm on my second set, rears wore at 15K (RWD car), fronts still on the first set may last to 30K.

I switched to the 510s in January of this year for a track day. Since then, I've put 7k miles on them and I have zero complaints. As you mentioned, they are quieter and they have much more grip than the P-Zeros. I paid $809.87, mounted and balanced at America's Tire Co.

Dave, are you back in Los Lagos this time of year?

I wouldn't be thrilled with that pattern. The set of pirelli's I took off my car was 60% worn but had dead even wear when I measured remaining tread from inside to outside of tire.

NOW he tells us!

I guess I changed our fronts kinda early. If I only coulda found those spring spacers to jack up the front springs...I could have evened out the wear, I bet. (And made the car easier to fall into!)

Atwell, I think you switched them a tad early. I still keep a set of them on wheels for drifting shows and they are still good for it when they are this low. I don't like the wear on the edge of yours, however. It looks like an alignment is needed

We are in Los Lagos and our timing was excellent with regard to the snow on our driveway in Genoa!

That's the plan.

We don't do drifting as our Base model has an open diff...only the right-rear wears out for some reason.

BTW my pictures were of our FRONT tires. I was surprised when I noticed it! We bought a set of 4 matching tires to Cash-In on a rebate.



Look at my SIG, if you know of anyone who could use some rear tires so that they can replace all tires at once, have them PM me.
