I bought a used set of Eagle F1 tires (224,45 - R 17) from a friend to replace my Eagle GT tires for the summer (wanted something I could burn through and go back to my GTs for the winter)
They were run on a 6.5" 17 wheel for a while and had to be over-inflated to fit properly, so there is lots of wear in the center but the sides are pretty good. I put them on my car and they're VERY noisy (pretty serious vibrations when braking too)
Was I stupid? I paid $200 for the tires, mounted and everything, and there's quite a fair bit if tread left. My friend says "just burn them off and they'll wear even", but I don't think that seems logical.
What say you?
