How are your Stock SS/TC tires holding up??

[1WhiteSSTC]

Well for my tires @ 30,000km(18,641miles) they are basically toast. They have been rotated twice and overall wear seems even so alignment is probably ok until I'm ready to get it tweaked next spring. I am keeping all of the stock tires for spares just incase the new set I buy for next summer gets a hole in the sidewall or anything like that. I will be getting the brand new Kuhmo XS tires in a 245/35/R18, tho I'm still tempted to try a 255, I am not lowered and don't plan any changes in ride height for a few years.

Mine didn't even make it 5000 mi. they weren't THAT bad but i got a screw in one and they said they'd only be able to do a temp fix

that's just 1 tire tho, u could replace 2 tires and still use 2 of the 3 that are still good while keeping a 3rd for a spare tire incase anything else gets a screw in it.

get on it quickly and u can rotate them 3 times before they are bald VS having nearly bald rear tires and a loose rear end.

*pukes* no-season tires? enjoy the loss of grip in summer and in winter........*shakes head* when will ppl learn

It looks like the OP did some gnarly burnouts on those tires. The kumho XS s should be good until it gets cold and poor road conditions (weather), just be careful on the tires at that point or get some winter rubber. I picked up some Falken ZE-912s cheap, grip decent for econo tires and run year round in my area. (we have no snow)
