Default Re: Some thoughts on tyres - and initial impressions about Falken FK510 tyres

An update for those interested in tyres and their wear performance.

Did a tyre rotation this morning on the Falkens and the tread depths were:

Both fronts to the indicator bars was (is)3mm in the centre and 4mm at each edge.

Both rears to the indicator bars was (is) 4mm across the tread.

So on the driven "axle" the tyres were half worn and as the minimum depth is in the middle it indicates that the 36 PSI I run the tyres at is a bit overinflated for the normal load of two adults.

Since the rear tyres are now on the front I can expect at least another 20,000 Km from them possibly 25000 km before a change is essential.

And the good thing is that the even tyre wear tells me the wheel alignment both front and rear is pretty good.

The car goes in for a 12 month service next week. It will be illuminating to see the numbers they report.

Cheers
