[QUOTE="xstatic, post: 409905, member: 6026"] WGT523, I will definitely not agree with what you are about to do. It is very unsafe, as mention earlier by champion, its the only 4 things that keeps us in contact with the road. However, the decision is you. Looking at your post, you seem to travel quite a bit. For me, I dont rate a tyre thread wear by how long I've own it, but rather the mileage it has covered.If for instance, in 3 months, you have managed to clock 30000-35000kms, I think it is quite reasonable, considering it being an 18 inch. I'm on falken FK452, 245/40/18 n 265/35/18, its 13 months since i bought it, clocked bout 30000kms n have about 50% remaining.I wouldnt say its the longest lasting tyre, but considering the way i drive n the mileage it has covered, its pretty reasnable.(its also a "sports tyre") If tyre wear and comfort are your concerns, the next option would be 17 inch.( since you travel quite extensively, but the LOOK GOOD factor is gone). just my 2 cents... cheers brader...
