    Tire life on S3

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My stock conti sport contacts are worn out after approx 10,000 miles?!?! Is this normal? Does anyone have better experience with other tires? I drive fairly normal with no track days. I'm just surprised with the short tire life.

    Thx. Rob

    That's close to the norm, some get more and some get less. I got the Conti DWS06 and they have been great.

    10k seems pretty low unless you are a pretty aggressive driver. Did the tires wear evenly? I had about 4K on my Contis when I put the 20s on. They still measure 9/32nds. I have a short in town commute so not many places to push them in the corners.

    Mine were done at under 10k, probably could've pushed em some more but didn't.

    The tire wear was pretty even left to right. Seems like more wear on back but hard to tell as I rotate regularly. Thanks
    For the feedback. I have a second set of the Contis that I'm putting on today (used with 7 32nds) but next time I'm looking at PSS or something.
