Hi, everyone, I'm in the market for an evo 9, but first I'd like to know if it's true about replacing your tires every 12,000- 15,000 miles.

I'm thinking of trading in my 05 rsx-s because this car is full of problems (suspension, build quality, and transmission).





Has anyone here experienced any reliability issues? I really respect the evo for it's performance but want to make sure I won't be at the dealership every weekend fixing ****, like I do with my acura.

you will find answers to all your questions

tires wear varies but 15k is fairly average

 

It depends on how you drive too...

 

Tires= yes in my case, but looks like at 9K miles because I drive 'spirited'. This should be posted here.....Moving.

 

Thanks for the replies, everyone. While it seems like a lot of maintenance, it still seems like the right car for me.


If everything goes ok then I'll be back with pics of a lol

 

What you know about "Cobra Commander", cobracommander?

 

just a fan of gi joe... I'm a big kid

 

not to be confused w/cobra kai

and to get back on topic.. i personally think 12K is a little too soon. i've had my car roughly 10K miles, and i have plenty of tread left.. im thinking of rotating them next oil change though

So am I buddy. Cool profile pic.

 

Another thing to consider is the treadwear rating of the tire. IIRC, the stock Advans have a rating of 180. If you were content with perhaps cutting the performance of the car some, you could pop on some all seasons (sacrilege to some, but at $200+ per tire...), and get MUCH more tire-life out of a set.

45k on my 03 Evo 8 and the only issue I've had is a leaking rear diff seal that the dealer replaced under warranty.

 

I got 12k out of the stock advans and 30k out of my Michelin PS2's. Get the alignment and toe fixed (you should have zero front toe) and the tire life is pretty good. I drive VERY spirited.
