Default Tire wear at 13.5K...Not bad......>>

on So3's, -1.6 rear camber, regular rotations, 36psi inflation, Homebrew Modshack alignments.

I'm not unhappy with how these are holding up at all....

Up in the air for Haldex fluid and oil change tomorrow. TT-West will be here in no time!

Default Steve, what I noticed on my SO3's was that >

with slightly less tread than you now have, they started to have less "stick". They were amazing when new. Not sure why that was, they don't have two different tread compounds in them that I know of. I was going to use them for track tires, but not if they weren't going to be sticky enough.. Maybe you'll have a different experience with them, or they've changed their composition a little.

Mine were more worn than that by about 10-11k, so I still think you could be driving a little harder : )

Mine lasted only 15K and the tread noise was really loud.
