I'm currently on my second set of rear tires and I've only put about 1k miles on it on my 2000. After inspecting my tires tonight, I noticed that it looked like I'm already down close to 50% tread left. I haven't driven my car hard at all due to the weather we've been having in Seattle, but it just seems very odd that I have this little tread left. Since this is only my second set of tires(and I really didn't pay attention to treadwear on my first set), I really can't compare the treadwear on past history or experience.
I got about 5500miles on my first set and since replacing them, I've only driven about 1k miles. Doing the math, I should have about 80% tread left. Anybody find this odd or does the treadwear slowdown at around 50% treadwear?
I also noticed that I seem to have slightly more tread on the insides of my rears than the outside. My rears are 32psi at cold. Lastly, I noticed that they(discount tire co.) swapped my rims when mounting the tire. They put the left rim on the ride side and vise versa(I don't think that should have any impact on anything).
