Took me 5-6 months to get my SSR wheels.

S007A is on closeout at TireRack, bought a set of 4 of 255/40/19, $555 shipped. This slots between S04 and RE71R. Worth checking out for anybody that needs some tires.

Oil change. Feels great to post here again after Santa brought me new jack stands and a creeper, and I hadn’t done much to it since summer. Next up: Whiteline front sway or new rotors/pads

Not bad. Definitely some efficiency loss over time, but I'll be getting these back in the mail soon.

I got rid of this awful home brewed exhaust system and installed a Fast Intentions set up. What a huge difference in sound! I also added the rear Nismo style wing.

Yeah, that was worth every penny.

sportsman2003

HA! for sure! That was one thing I couldn't wait to upgrade after buying my car used. It took about three months to get the system from Fast Intentions but it was well worth the wait. It was a super simple install too no issues at all they make a super nice product.

Failed inspection. Inside tread on rear Extreme Contact DWS06 Continentals is running 2/32 (closer to 1.5/32) L and 3/32 R. Warranty doesn't cover uneven tread wear.

I have the Firestone alignment lifetime deal--they (should be) aligning it to factory spec every time I bring it in, and I've brought it in about 6 or 7 times since purchasing the rubber. I align the car 4 times or so per year because it is my DD, and the roads in Waco are treacherous so I want to make sure everything is running smoothly all the time. Certainly have received my money's worth on the lifetime alignment deal...but maybe that isn't the case anymore if its f****** up my suspension/treadwear.

Only had them for ~16,000mi.

I understand due to the negative camber nature of our vehicles, 16,000 miles (mostly highway) is enough to wear the inside tread. But I also see an issue with the LEFT REAR having lower inside tread than the RIGHT REAR. Even when they are both low on the inside, they don't match.

Here is my alignment report and treadwear report:





My plan of action right now is:

- Call TireRack and ask if the warranty is still available It isn't
- Bring the Z to the stealership and pay for a diagnostic to see if any suspension parts may be causing the issue (I am running all stock suspension except for a Hotckis Front Sway).
- If suspension is the issue, I stop there and take the hit; purchase new rubber and get the suspension parts fixed/replaced at Austin Z Clinic.
- If suspension is NOT the issue, then provide the stealership with the numbers from Firestone's alignment tool and ask them if Firestone is aligning to the correct spec.
- If Firestone isn't, b**** to customer service and demand that they cover the price of purchasing and installing new EC Continental DWS06 on the rears, and never bring them my business again.
- If Firestone is aligning correctly, then I am completely lost.

Any thoughts?

16,000 miles. You're doing good. I'm lucky to get 10,000 miles.

Your continental apparently has a 50K mile limited warranty according to the corporate website. the manufacturer might be able to replace it. I'm running the Extreme contact sports, and mine don't seem to wear fast enough so i can have an excuse to get new tires.
