I'm going through tires too fast!

HotMustangWoman · 07-07-2006, 06:45 PM

What is the best type of tire for my 04 GT? I need new tires every six months. Yes, I drive a little crazy but damn, they should be lasting longer.

Nofire · 07-07-2006, 07:20 PM

Are you wearing out the front tires, the back tires, or all 4?

HotMustangWoman · 07-07-2006, 07:34 PM

All 4

*Lances03SVT* · 07-07-2006, 07:50 PM

Wow all 4 in 6 month's!!

I've had mine on for over a year and they still look good.

HotMustangWoman · 07-07-2006, 07:58 PM

I have Goodyears. I know they're good tires. I guess I'm just too rough on them.

*Lances03SVT* · 07-07-2006, 08:04 PM

How many miles do you put on them in 6 months?

HotMustangWoman · 07-07-2006, 08:06 PM

About 6,000

Justin99gtconv · 07-07-2006, 08:11 PM

Try not spinning them so much. that usually works

HotMustangWoman · 07-07-2006, 08:13 PM

Thant's no fun.

todd03blown · 07-07-2006, 09:28 PM

um how in the hell do you burn all 4 tires off in 6k miles?? Something sounds fishy here.

TClark22 · 07-07-2006, 10:03 PM

no ****...

b4 i got my new wheels and tires my stockers had 20k miles on them and still looked pretty good...

YOU MUST HAVE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE OR U SHOULD STOP DRIVING LIKE A MADWOMEN?

PureStang · 07-07-2006, 10:15 PM

i had my tires replaced when i bought the car in oct....and i have just put on a hair under 10k....and they need replacing...barely any burnouts and track runs....it WILL NOT pass inspection...these are goodyear tires too...theyre horrible...i will nvr buy goodyears unless theyre the F1 tires

csledd · 07-07-2006, 10:22 PM

im guessing all 4 are worn because of tire rotations lol. thats crazy.

MattJ · 07-07-2006, 10:54 PM

I have well over 50+ 1/4 runs with every time spinning rocks off and mine still look good 18k miles later. I think you just need to take it easy...

Nalcyon · 07-11-2006, 07:34 PM

Ha I have 26,000 miles on my goodyears and they still have another 7-10,000 to go. I also drive very nice. Most of the time. Try spinning and doing donuts in the rain. That helps. and it is easy.

Mustang2002 · 07-18-2006, 06:02 PM

Wider tires help A LOT! i used to have 245s and i blew a set of 4 off in 5 months just because i'm 17 and i drive CRAZY. I toned down my driving now but the bigger tires sure help a lot. ALso, DON"T get good years. They are softer tires and will wear faster.

Exactly, in fact, stay awar from tires altogether. Go to a 4x4 performance store and have them spray Rhino liner around the rim and use that instead of tires.

Put a Falken Azenis tire or Nitto NT01 on, they are auto-cross tires and will probably last you longer with your driving habits.

GREG@SN95 · 07-18-2006, 07:31 PM

i can burn 4 tires in a day

its easy...

you see ya burn the rear ones bald... then ya swap the rear w/ the front...

If I were you bud I'd be a little nicer to my car...

Its a fast car... but take it easy... it'll lead to more problems then an empty bank account and 100 bald tires
