50,410 miles on O.E.M. rear Goodyears

Well, I finally had to replace the rear tires. The original O.E.M. Goodyears went 50,410 miles!

Can I ask what did you run for air pressure? Also do you do much highway driving (65mph) mine wear very fast in the middle and I run 30-32 psi but I drive 70-75 mph
Thanks
Dan

I'm glad you survived all those miles! I think Fred Flintstones rock tires got better traction than those Goodyears!

I'm guessing you didn't do many burn-outs.

I can't believe they lasted that long...I've seen/heard the way you take off and how fast you drive.

WOW! Didn't know you were so "frugal" to get so many miles out of a set of tires. Is that you I hear squeaking when you walk?

My rears on my 03 look like that with 25 thousand on them and no burn outs!
Did you ever have trouble with traction in the rain when the centers started getting down there?
