Wow! That looks like my old tires before I replaced them. How many miles did you get out of the run-craps this time? Mine lasted about 18,500 before looking like this, and I think that was pretty good.
I put Goodyear F1 All Season tires on mine and really like them. Good handling, a much better ride and (supposedly) longer treadlife.
There's nothing wrong that a little black paint and armour-all won't cure. With that and a pair or crossed fingers, I'm sure you can get another couple hundred miles out of them.

Just a quick note here in Props to Goodyear. I sent off my rebate on the set of tires I bought in the 2nd week of June and got the check back in the mail yesterday (50.00). Pretty quick and no hassle. :thumbsup:
Your picture looks almost exactly like the ones I saw yesterday watching the Nascar Brickyard 400. At least you got a little better mileage than they were getting yesterday - 15 to 20 laps - or less than 50 miles per tire change. Goodyear can't be real happy with THAT kind of advertising.

I like the PZero Rosso I have but was wondering if the Conti was any better?
I didn't post them but they were a bit cheaper. I ordered the Pzero Rosso's I have had really good tread wear and excellent traction with them. I heard the front sizes were discontinued but don't know how reliable that was. Tire Rack still has them.
I need to replace my Pirelli "Run Craps" also. It's hard to find an exact match on the sizes for other brands. I want a quieter and less harsh tire. Michelin PS2's seem like a great choice, but they only make a 255-40-18 for the front, which is 1/2 - 1 inch lower than factory. Is anyone running these? The other choices seem to be Goodyear GS-D3's, Continentals, Yokohama's, or more Pirelli's. Which one are most of you going with out there? PS: I'm in Phoenix. The tires will never see winter weather. Thanks!
Three best choices for summer are, GY GSD3's, Pirelli P0 Rosso asym's, Conti's sport 2's, all make OEM sizes (non run-flat) for a matched set and listed in lowest to highest priced. All are a good tire. Try them all,---- it will only take you 30k to go through 3 sets.
I am running P0's on the rear and have great traction and good treadwear. Not really that loud even going bald.... my Mich PS2's on front make a lot of noise from 1/2 to 3/4 worn. I won't buy Mich. again.
My PS2s are awesome and haven't gotten loud at all. And they are the best street tire out there. One of the few non-RFT tires that have the cornering stability of a RFT...
I'll tell you one thing, if you hate tire noise, stay away from the GSD3. I am about half worn, and they are so loud I can barely stand it. My lease is up in 6 months, and 2 of those will be winter so the V won't see street duty or else I would be tempted to replace them. I couldn't stand these tires for another year, I'd go crazy. Needless to say I am severly disappointed in noise and in performance from the GSD3. I'll never buy them again.

I have a 2008 STS (not a V) with performance handling package with 18"x8.5" 6 lug wheels and Brembos. It comes with 255/45ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport (summer only) all around, which will not last forever.
How large an 18" tire is equivalent to the 275/40ZR19s on the rear of the V, or what other size will clear?
Does anyone have any experience (clearance issues) with fronts larger than 255/45ZR18?
It's a lease so I'm not changing the wheels.
Woulda considered a V if it came in red.
What about the Sumitomo HTR Z III? Anyone try these? The reviews and price look good.
