Stupid weather forecast... This morning they said no risk of severe weather... Now they're saying 40 mph winds and small hail, and the Z is in the parking lot. :mad:

lol that looks about right, Mike :ugh2: The wear on ours was probably a bit more even than yours cause my wife drove it with VDC ON but I would estimate it was that bad or worse. The dealer told me I couldn't drive off the lot with them (after an oil change). I lol'd and ordered some through Discount Tire later that afternoon and drove around on the bald ones for another week :icon17:

i measured my yok's the other day and front was 4/32 inner tread, 5/32 center, 6/32 outer tread.

so for me, getting pretty near the point where i want to start thinking about replacing them. this was about 4k miles.

Too late... Storm's already here. I just noticed it seemed kind of dark outside my window and looked through the blinds, it's already raining like hell.

I might as well just stop looking at the weather. I think of all the times last summer (during the drought) when they said it was going to rain so I didn't drive the Z, and then it didn't rain... Then they say there's some light t-storms but severe weather isn't expected and halfway through the day, surprise, small hail and 40 mph winds.

do you have android phone? if so, try the app called weatherbug. it's actually pretty damn good. :tup: i use that to monitor my weather and it's fairly accurate. it's not oversensitive like weatherchannel where they just f-up their forecast.

hope your car is okay... :eekdance:
