morning all;
My car has Cup2 tyres fitted.
Tread depth:
FR - 5mm
FL - 5mm
RR - 4.5mm
RL - 4.5mm
date stamp on tyres
FR - 39/14
FL - 09/14
RR - 11/14
RL - 12/14
other than accepting that I'm driving like a wuss, I would have thought more wear on the tyres.
However, given there age, would you think that they have 'gone off' ?
I've experienced old tyres previously, on my 996 GT3;
they were so bad I could not get the car to oversteer, despite aggressive provocation (on an airfield, doing all the things you're not supposed to do with a 911!)
changing new tyres to new ones restored the status quo.
(BTW, car is stored in garage when not in use)
cheers
David
