Well, looks like my unfortunate prediction is becoming reality. 9100 miles and I'm pretty much on the wear indicators. Another 1000 miles and I'll be at threads. That sucks.I have about 2000 miles on the FK510's. They seem to be wearing normally, meaning they'll likely be ready for replacement at the "usual" 10K miles. Stay tuned.
Yeah the 21s are not easy on tire wearWell, looks like my unfortunate prediction is becoming reality. 9100 miles and I'm pretty much on the wear indicators. Another 1000 miles and I'll be at threads. That sucks.
So, I guess I'll order the Conti's. 2 sets of tires a year gets expensive.
Okay, cost is normally not a significant factor as the various tires are normally "close" in price. Apparently not the case on Tire Rack for 265/35ZR21 (101Y) XL rear tires...So, I guess I'll order the Conti's. 2 sets of tires a year gets expensive.
Other tires are better performing tires.Okay, cost is normally not a significant factor as the various tires are normally "close" in price. Apparently not the case on Tire Rack for 265/35ZR21 (101Y) XL rear tires...

Personal experience has proven the Falken's and the Michelin PSS's are 10-11K mile tires. It seems the forum has seen similar mileage from the Continental's. Aside from the consistent crappy mileage of the Falken's (which seems to be the norm), I was perfectly happy with these tires. For the cost, why would I consider others?
Good point. My environment doesn't have ice and snow, so that could be a benefit of the more expensive tires, but they are all listed as "summer performance tires". The Falken's get great traction in the rain in my experience. A spirited jump from a traffic light in the rain has just a small amount of slip over the white painted line, but otherwise pretty solid. Little, to no, hydroplaning observed. I only had one full-on panic stop and the Falken's did okay, but I still have Michelin PS2's on the front. They tend to last 2-3 times longer than the back. Since most of your braking is in the front, the Falken's probably didn't play a significant role in that effort.Other tires are better performing tires.
Id be interested to see their braking rating.
You definitely don’t want to take max summer performance tires in freezing weatherGood point.

I guess it'll be the Falken's again.

I took my Michelin Pilot sport 2’s and they drive as if I was driving on hockey pucks

Are they squared, if yes I will take them.I have replaced the Conti's on my Model S's 21" wheels... the rears still have 8/32" remaining. I'd be happy to sell you them for $100 plus shipping. Or... if anyone on the list has some lightly worn 21" fronts they'd like to sell, I would like to buy them.

Car model and miles you get out of these tires please.I bought 4 Hankook tires last week for 880 after rebates, install, and certificates.
I believe they do not not make the proper sizes for a staggered setup the last time I check—can you verify.I bought 4 Hankook tires last week for 880 after rebates, install, and certificates.
You're right, not staggered. I got all the same size, will that be an issue?I believe they do not not make the proper sizes for a staggered setup the last time I check—can you verify.
Also, I might try these on my next set. They were great on my last car...

How do the FK610's compare to the FK510's?2 days in to my Falken FK610’s and they’re about what I expected.
How do the FK610's compare to the FK510's?
I've never heard of the FK610's and TireRack doesn't even list them. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/falken-tires.jspIt's been so long since I've driven on FK510's that I can't really offer a comparison. So far the 610's have not disappointed.
