6000 miles and time for new tires

I'm running 285 for my rears on the 18"s and wow does the car feel like the rear can kick out any second in rain,now when you mix heavy wind in you better have your seat belt on.

If it's rainy really bad, I just hop in one of the other cars. Although, I have got stuck in some major rain storms with the bald tires. Driving on the highway was quite scarry. Nothing like the backend just going back and forth when you are driving straight.

I may just go with the 275s as a compromise. Not too much wider than the 265s.

Thanks,
David

Tire Rack had the same Goodyears in 265/30/19 on sale for $192 each. I couldn't pass that up.

By the time I burn through these new rears, maybe the fronts will show some sign on wear.
