Default Need Advice: Tire is gone with 27k, paint needs waxing

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/55608/p1010042.jpg"></center><p>Hello guys It's been a while since i posted here last time. I really miss spending time with my car, but u know, school, work... =(

I just noticed today that my rear tires are 95% gone! Is it normal? with 27k ?? my God! i dont drive frying tires ... what u recommend for new tires?

Also, my paint looks faded already, 1 year old. but u know black... what kind of polishment do you think it's best?

I really appreciate! Take care

I would guess its not an S, no aluminum mirrors and bumper is different.

Default Well for $89 then, you really can't beat the Kumho ECSTA 712...

Both are WR speed rated and offer decent performance and a nice ride. Treadwear for the Kumhos are 280 (not bad at all)

For $116 you could go for the Yoko AVS ES100s. I had them on my B5 A4 and they were very quiet with a soft ride. I heard they get loud as they wear though.
