Tire wear. What you got?? Here is what my tires look like after 50,000 miles. I try to keep them rotated and inflated properly. I don't burn out much either, can't afford the tires. Looks like barring abnormal wear, which I do have some of, I may get 80 or 90 thou.
BTW, these are the original Eagles.

My RSA's looked a lot better than that at 50K miles, however they were downright dangerous in the snow and not much better in the rain. Once you replace them (and I recommend you do it soon), you will be shocked at how much better the car is to drive.

My factory tires were smokes at the 19K mark even with proper rotation, but then again my neighborhood has quite a few posi slabs all over it for some reason. The new 245/35's I am a little easier on. Have your alignment checked. My car has 25K on it now and I have had it aligned twice. Also tire pressure is very important, too high the middle wears out, too low the side wear out and scallop. So by the sticker in the door, not the max on the tires.

I've got almost 36K on mine now, should be good for another 15K or till this winter. Whatever comes first. RSA's aren't to good in the snow, especially nearly worn out RSA's.

I've been driving the twisties every sunday now and I've been noticing a weird sort of balding/shaving that is killing the outside edge of my tires. Where they once have been smooth now they are sorta rough and rounded off more. Can anyone explain this beyond sidewall flex and the shitty RSAs?

I got 45k now. I have alot of tread on the outer edges but my center treads are worn. I had them over inflated. I think I can get throught the summer just fine. I'd like to get to 55K
