It is nearly time to replace the original rear tires.
I haven't seen any comments lately from owners that have replaced the rear tires and was curious what make you choose, size, etc. I would also be interested in knowing WHY you made the choice you did and what your thoughts are now that you have driven on them.
Thanks

For myself, I had some Kumhos on my Mercedes and loved them. Put the same tires on the roadster and hate them with a passion. I drive faster just to wear them out... :-)
I had to change my back tires at 6000 miles.
Was told this is normal.
I had them replace the tires when they did the first service because they were down to threads..
thanks

That size will be hard to match in the future from what I hear.
Front: Kumho Ecsta 4X KU22 195/50 ZR16 84W
Rear: Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus 225/45 ZR17
The diameter ratio is the same as the ratio for the original Yokohamas so the regen braking works as it should. This is my second set of the Michelins on the rear. I had 38,000 on the last set and only changed them because I'm doing this Route 66 drive and wanted new tires for the drive. My guess is that I would have easily got 45K out of that set. However, I don't do a lot of racing.
YMMV
