New rear tires needed....19,384kms...WTH!?

Ok maybe I exagerate. But they are down to the wear bars at least. I said to my friend, "Look at that! down to the wear-bars! And the fronts measure at 80% remaining tread! I can't understand why they are wearing so unevenly!"
However tonight when I went to swap the DRs off and the stockers back on I found this little present....

Can't believe it wasn't leaking. Figured there wasn't much sense in driving on it and who knows how long before it will start leaking. And the last thing I want to deal with during BBOMG is a flat rear tire . So, I guess tomorrow I make some calls and get me a new pair of shoes! Of course they will have to be "scuffed"

Tire wear reduction calculation (length of rubber left on road X smoke linger duration time = lost kilometer wear) of course you must also take into consideration the factor. Most of the time this last factor can have a huge impact on the above calculation as the bigger the factor the larger the first two numbers in the above calculation tend to be.

The factor is often later followed by the factor. This happens when one makes the visual inspection of the "length of rubber left on road" and realizes that no matter what the "smoker linger duration time" was , the "lost kilometer wear" is gonna be substantial. The upside to this is, the factor almost always follows the factor.

That's what you get for disabling the traction controll every time you sit in the drivers seat.
I'd get a set of stickers in the really soft compound.
Then you'll get traction instead of all that spinning in the video.
Good thing you found that screw.
See ya in a few days!!

to the OP...have your shoes weighed...your RIGHT shoe must weigh 3 times that of your left one. This could cause serious premature tire wear in a car like the Camaro.
