While installing rear pads on my car - I noticed the inside edges of my tires are almost bald. I don't think I have put more than 10k miles on them.

VERY common on the G coupe... although, most get at least 15k. It depends on how well you watch the pressure in your tires, if you keep your alignment tight, how you drive, the compound of your tires... etc. The stock alignment has built in negative camber that contributes to the wear.

I have them and love them. I've put almost 10k miles on them since I bought them in September? They have awesome wet/dry traction. They are quiet, awesome handling.

The ONLY knock is they follow grooves in the road... not too bad but you'll need both hands on the wheel on really uneven pavement.

I did 235/45/17 on all 4 wheels. Next time I'll do 245/45/17.

Jeff, are those factory rims?

They look very clean and sexy.

They don't look pretty anymore... wife has been driving the car for about 2 months during the week. AND at the track this month I dropped a rim face down on the pavement!!!
