30,000 miles and Nitto drag radials equals.... THIS
driver's side
passenger side
Driver's side is worn more because they were running at 19psi for a while at one point. Tires also had 30psi for most of their life before I noticed that they were wearing out more in the middle than having even wear. I run the new ones at 25psi now. Tires had the metal core starting to show. This is my own personal experience through an automatic and my driving habits with these tires, obviously other's experience will vary.

Thats cool its good to see some people getting alot of miles out of nittos espicially 30,000. These will be my next set of tires I think but im not positive yet. How do they hook on the street with your stall in from a dig?

I have had the best wear from my 315 nitto by running 22 psi...even at that low- the insides wears a little faster. I always repaced mine a little before the way your drivers side looks....but that would only be ~18,ooo miles for me. the worst I got out of a set of nitto's was 16,000. 400rwhp 6 speed car.
Now I am running the MT DR...man they hook way better- but we'll see how long they last. I hear 5-7,000- but I got a little better than average from my nitto's. if they'll last 10,000 for mey- that'll be 2 years.
Anyhow- I'd say you got the goody out of those tires.

I was just about to mention that you ran them over inflated but I see you already know this. I got my 1st set used and they were the same way just not nearly as bad with the center worn out and I ran they at like 27psi and got a few more thousand out of them. I run my brand new Nittos at 25 PSI now tho.

Mine have about 15k on them and are almost 3 yrs old.. they are just getting to the wear bars finally. I'll probably go with the nt05r. And they still do good enough to soft launch into 1.8s consistently.
