Ferrari Mailing List: tire wear on 308

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

1981 308 GTSi, Michelin trx 220 55 vr 390. They (4) are 10 years old and I do around 1600 miles every summer. I paid $1200. can. back in 2003 tax and installation included.

 

They have 5 lines of treads. The inside line of treads is totally worn at the rear (both sides of course). The rest is far from new, but could easily last a few more summers. The front ones show wear, but at least are equally worn.

 

I'll do a tire rotation this winter of course. But what else could I do to prevent the 2 front ones that I'll put in the rear to become like the present rear ones ?

 

Coker tire ($429)

Shopbot.ca ($563)

 

I don't want to pay that kind of money.

 

Thank you!
