12+k on the original bridgestones,
the passenger rear started losing air, not repairable. i "negotiated" the rim and tire warranty when i bought the car, so they replaced the tire free under warranty, and since both rears had 6/32 left, i had them also do the driver's rear.
the point of this post is...the new tires do not feel very sticky. on hard acceleration, from a dead stop, they slip and chirp...even with full traction control. maybe i am being overly sensitive, but i do not remember ever experiencing any of this before, even with the "balding" old tires.
on the highway (even at high speeds) the new tires feel fine. i have full confidence in them, but i cannot stop thinking about the low end loss of traction.
am i being overly sensitive? i also want to know how you can tell if they mounted the left tire on the left side, and the opposite.
thanks in advance for any feedback, and yes i am going to get the michelins next set when i have to replace all four at the same time....
