I bought my ZX2 over a year ago with these tires on it. I am not sure how many miles they have total, but I have been running my Michelin Rain Force MX4 tires for over a year now (20,000+ miles) at elevated pressures (38 initially now 44). The other day I was working on a noisy brake and decided to measure the tread depths of the tires to see how even the wear is. I measured each of the three grooves in the front and rear of the tire using a depth caliper and averaged the readings. Here is what I found:
LF:
Inner-.207
Middle-.220
Outer-.197
RF:
Inner-.217
Middle:.230
Outer-.215
LR:
Inner-.225
Middle-.235
Outer-.220
RR:
Inner-.205
Middle-.215
Outer-.195
Interesting how even at the elevated pressure, the middle still has the most tread remaining and the outers wear slightly more than the inners. Maybe if I raise the pressure a little more, the wear will even out to the middle?
Thought? Any one else measure theirs and post results.
FYI: New, these tires had .320 tread depth.
