Need New Rear Tires

nivek311 · 12-22-2010, 03:25 PM

I'm just under 9,000 miles and the back tires are looking pretty worn. My concern is using a tire center like Les Schwab or Discount may void any kind of warranty relating to tires. My intent was to replace the rear tires with the exact Michelin Pilot Sport 265/35/19's that came with the car. The dealer will charge me up the wazoo, so I was hoping to either order from TireRack or use Discount.

I'm guessing I'll be using 2 sets of rears for every single set of fronts, is that what most of you are finding as well?

Does anyone really ever go through the dealer for new tires?

I change rears every 10K. Fronts every 20K. The front I usually change a tad early just because not having front end grip is scary.

Your only tire warranty is from the tire maker, makes no difference where you buy.
