well, here's an update..
I've been monitoring the remaining tread life as I have been waiting for the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 to come out.. it's supposed to perform better than excellent summer tires..
They're supposed to be out around the second week of July. Well, last week, the Wife, my Mom, and I were driving home from BJ's and it sounded like I blew out a tire. As I was pulling over the sound went away. Being that it didn't feel blown, I continued the short distance to our destination carefully. I took a look and saw a string, it looked like I picked up a yo-yo.. I gave it a tug and no yo-yo, so I turned the wheel and WOW, the tire is falling apart..
So, the Wife and I are carpooling for the time being..
To add to the madness, according to Michelin's site, the tire I want will not fit my 8" wheels and need at least an 8.5" width.. now I can either sacrifice and get a different tire, or pick out a new wheel and sell my current.. what a dilemma this has been..
I wish I had a hook-up on this stuff like I did 10 years ago..
