Default Be careful if you have the Potenza RE-01R..........
I just did my third front to back rotation at 3K used and about 3K left. At 50% tread left they have recently decided to no longer giving up any sound before they break loose. They WERE very noisy when new and with time they are starting to act more like a true R-compound tire with a tremendous amount of grip and no warning when that grip ends. No other issues other than you just need to be careful.

Good to know. Do you only expect 6k miles on these tires?

6 to 7K but depending on driving style some may get far more.
