Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The fronts had plenty of tread left but all 4 tires have 2016 dates, so it didn't make sense to just replace the rears with old tires still on the front.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The LE rear tires were getting thin - approx 2/32. The fronts had plenty of tread left but all 4 tires have 2016 dates, so it didn't make sense to just replace the rears with old tires still on the front. So I looked for tire deals and found some Yokohama Advans on a Black Friday deal at Discount Tires back in Nov. Bought all 4 and put them in the basement, waiting to have them mounted when the weather got better. Drove another mo on the old tires, then put the snows on around Christmas (latest I've ever gone). This wk the weather is in the 60s & 70s, with seasonal or better temps for the next 10 days. So I had the new tires mounted and now have to decide if I should put them on or wait a bit longer. I have Advans on my CSS and really like them. But a new set of 19" tires for $970 out the door. Pretty good.

+1 on the Yokohama Advans. Both our Caymans sport them, and they have a great wear life. November is definitely the best time to buy from Discount Tire, with the Black Friday deals and manufacturer rebates. Total cost, after rebates, was $734.00, mounting included on 18" wheels. Just sayin'.......... TO
