43 thousand before a casual inspection determined that the belts were showing on all four and that I was driving a car that was unfit for road use.

I can't wait to swap them out for ps2's all around once they go, I'm up to 37k total. I figure about 7-8k of that is on the winter tire setup.

The front inners are wearing fastest out of everything, is that a bad alignment or just fast cornering ?

17K out of the fronts, replaced them with slightly larger Kumho's with higher treadwear rating and they are wearing great.

@ 26K on the rears and they probably need to get swapped out here pretty soon, was hoping to get 30K
