Tire wear
 
Just a quick question.. I have continental extreme contact DWS on my 370 sport package and was wondering how many miles to expect.. I dont track but do drive moderately aggressive..
Thanks

Look up the tires on Tire Rack..They have a ton of estimates and ratings and Owner reviews.

What is the tread wear rating? FYI, generally the higher the number the longer they last. Or supposed to anyway:tup:

Don't worry about that. If you get more than 12k your not living to your potential nor the cars. Lol

Tire Wear
 
I was just looking the tires over and it seems that the rears are wearing faster than I expected. They are the OEM 18" 245/45Yokahamas. They have only 13K miles and are down to 5/32 of tread left. The fronts have 6/32 left.
I am the proverbial little old lady driver and never spun the tires or drove it hard. In case you are wondering; I am more about lookin' good than pushing the car. I estimate that I will need to replace them at about 20K miles.
Comments?

Thats normal for our cars. On my BF Goodrich Gforce Tires, my rears were bald while my fronts had about 50-60% left after about 20k. Thats with semi-aggressive daily driving. You are looking good hot mama!

Buy a tire with higher treadwear next, the factory tires are soft
