I'm new to the wear of performance tires because I came from a 1994 Previa.. I have a couple of questions..

I'm still addicted to the feeling of turbo pushing you into your seat (Also the little whistling noise), so I like to push her a lot. It's not EVERY single time, but whenever I get the chance too, I rev her up to about 4.5k (sometimes a little over, sometimes under, still breaking her in, so I cant go passed 5k RPM). How fast should I expect my tires to wear if I continue to do this? I'm currently at 93x miles..

Also, whenever people take pictures of their cars, the tread is also shiney. How do you get that look? Because I read the shine gel bottles, and they say not to put it on the tread because it causes the tire to slip. How do you guys do it?

 

Stock Advans will prob last about 7-10k with spirited driving...just a reference

 

To make the tires shiney just got some spray on tire cleaner/gloss.

You came up hella, a 94 Previa to an Evo... =]

 

mine lasted 10k and i use tire dressing but i be carefull not to get it everywhere, because yes it will cause your tires it "slip".

 

myne don't look like they'll make it past 7k miles

 

rev 4.5k, thats not big deal bro, I rev my evo to 7k all the time with stock advans, it last me 25k miles, b/c I don't launch my car thats why they lasted longer than most drivers. no need to worry man.

btw, did you modify your previa? it's a popular trend in Japan, they make their Previa look like "Shikansen" the bullet train.

 

Hahaha thanks! I did come up pretty high though, and the EVO's speed scared the hell outta me! I think she was testing me, but I can tame her much more now =] I havent tested her handling.. That'll prolly make me crap my pants

Hahaha nope I didnt modify it.. It was a hand me down from my parents because they upgraded to a Sienna.. But the thing is, Its Supercharged =]

I actually tried to race my friends 2000 Pasat.. Hilarious because I kept up in the first 2 gears, then the Pasat pulled away in 3rd.. 94 Previa is still a beast! DD FTW! =]

 

My evo has never been launched and my advans lasted about 12K miles. The inner tread was gone. If you want them to last, you need to rotate every few thousand miles.

You should try out the BFG g- force t/a they hold up like crazy and they are a great tire

 

mine lasted about 15k and tire shine should get that look you want. i also run bfgoodrich kdw's and love them.

 

The stock toe settings are what make the tires wear so badly. The stock Advans are really soft but should last at least 15k with a good alignment and little to no auto-x/track day/spirited mountain drive time.

I'm at just around 12k on mine and the center tread block is still fine. The outer blocks are worn a bit on the left side due to 35 or so auto-x runs and a tame camber setting. I got an alignment at 300 miles.

Just hitting the gas in a straight line will not wear the tires much at all. A stock Evo shouldn't spin on dry asphalt from a roll. Wear really comes from cornering.

if you want them to last, get an alignment and zero out the toe.

 

im @ 17,500 right now w/ stock advans haha almost gone so im in the market for new tires soon pretty much in the next few weeks

 

10K on the original Advans right now. I think they'll last the summer (should be ~11K miles by then). Never launched, never tracked; just some spirited corners, etc.

 

I dont plan to auto-x for a while or do any of that racing.. So maybe I'm good for a little bit more than normal?
