Good wear pattern on the old tires. Looks like alignment is good, but you might want to check it. I scrubbed a set of rears that had about 50% left to the wear bars within 3k miles because the rear toe was wrong.

i was wondering if you begin getting increased road noise from the tires as they wore down to the point in your photo-my rear tires are nearly there and they are beginning to become very noisy cant tell if its the tires or something else

I wore my last set of HTRZ III's down to the wear bars and had no more noise than when they were new.
Ha! The rears were a little noisy (really a little). That was a real nice surprise because a lot of tires get noisy with age and wear.
Now the fronts are louder than the rears....... It also makes a big difference in tire pressure. The fronts are quiet at approx. 32-33 psi, anything higher = more noise.
BTW, these are 17".
I notice more noise from Hankook RS-3 as they wear. Same for the Toyo R888 track tires but the Nitto NT-01 track tires stay as quiet as the PS2's throughout their life.
