Default treadwear update -- Yokohama A032-R as a daily driven tire

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8383/yoko-a032-r.jpg"></center><p>well i have had them for about 5months and put about 5000mi on them so far and they are just starting to wear through the 2mm wear indicator. IIRC they had 8-9mm tread to begin with so id say with 6-7mm left i still have another 8-10,000 mi left.

now these arent really a "street" tire, and arent for everyone, but i personally dont mind compromising ride quality a littile for a such a large gain in grip. probably the only complaint i have would be the noise, but it is bearable
