Continental Rear DW's going away FAST
 

I have less the 8K on a set of DW tires. It will not make to to 10K miles. The driving is 100 miles a day to and from work. My wife and I are not driving the car hard. Alinement is good. Stock tires made to 17K with a bad alinement. The wear is even accros the face of the tire and no cupping of treadblocks. Any Ideas???

you are running 35psi-37psi range?

hummmm... my DW's look only slightly worn with about 3.5k miles.

Not so good... I thought the Continentals were a fairly good treadwear! ~300

yah, that's wat ive been hearing/reading too... hummm...

Here is my setup. This is the day the tires were put on. 8K miles ago

thread wear numbers dont mean jack.... unless you are comparing tires from the same manufacture.

32 PSI rear, the fronts are fine/like new same pressure.

....whoa, that's weird. i know plenty of people on DWs and they like that they are lasting for quite a bit, and offer good performance.

Bad batch of tires; rough roads; excessive cornering....?

Check your door jam, I believe you underflated your tires....

Door jam shows 35 PSI. 3 PSI, Could Be?

yah, use 35-37 cold. you are underinflated.

alignment number (toe-in) looks okay.

Under inflation is likely it. Have you checked alignment recently?

Just had RE11's. I made a mistake the DW's went 11K. The HKS coilovers did set down some after the install. Aline is off some. Will have to install the toe bolt kit

11k is :tup: in my books. :)

You won't many more miles on the RE11 vs the DWs. Also you might want to inflate the tire a little more
