Tire Replacement ---

I had a 84 VW GTI a long time ago (great little car) and I wore out front tires down to core on the inside of the tires. It was simply just the way I was driving a bit harder than normal. I can understand the difference and it is really related to driving style.

tonybui -- what is your feeling on the stock bridgestone?

I'm not a pro and my opinion might be bias. But the stock bridgestone are pretty good to me, very adhesive to the road surface and can be a little loud when wearing out but it's a sports car so I can live with it. At 25k miles it still handles pretty good and I don't drive like a grandma, not agressive all the time either (just time to time)

My front tires are about 60% and the rear are about 30%. I will get a set of rear new and once they all worn out I will get a different set of tires that will last me longer than 25-30k miles. But overall (to me) they are not as bad as to most members here on the forum.

You need to try better tires. The OEM tires are horrible in terms of price, wear, noise and grip. I took them off the car with 700 miles or so on it, one of the best thing I did to the car
