Super Fast Rear Tire Wear

[Porsche9]

Normal is 10k to 15k for the rear tires. I usually get about 12k to 14k. Fronts last twice as long.

An alignment will also make a huge difference in how the car handles.

I got tired of replacing my tires after a season or season and a half, so I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. Have been running them for a couple of seasons now (6,000 miles) and they still look almost new. I'm happy with the way they handle, (I don't track my car, but I do enjoy hard acceleration). They have the highest wear rating of any all-season tire I could find.
They look and work great and were recommended by my friend that drives a 993 after he got less than 2000 miles on his previous set of rear tires. I waited to buy them until he had two seasons on his tires and they still looked great. He's on his 5th season on a single set of these tires now.

Check them out if you want better tire life. I don't have a tread depth gage but here is what the rear tire tread looks like after 6k miles:

Get an alignment. If you don`t track it get it set to factory.
