My rear tires are wearing out much quicker than my fronts and I need some advice. Have 6k miles on my car now and the stock supercar3’s are at 2/32” on the rear and 5/32” front. I don’t track the car but do have some favorite backgrounds that a drive everyday to work. Would you guys just replace the rears with (2) new supercar3 tires and call it a day or should I just get a new complete set of 4? Also, my buddy has (2) rear MPSS with about 90% tread that I can get for cheap but I’m not sure about going with different tires on this car. Any help is appreciated.

I would just change the two rears with matching tires to the front. The ratio on a lot of staggered fitment cars ends up being 2 sets of rears to every 1 set of fronts. I see it on a lot of vehicles at work with such setups.

I wouldn't be putting the super sports on if it was my car. Technically since you're matching on the same axle it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I suppose personal preference would be to have a matching set. Price out a few options though so you can make an educated decision (i.e. cost of two new rear goodyears vs. new set of something else)

Depends on what you consider cheap for the rear set of MPSS. Might be a good option- wear all 4 at the same rate (stock g3s on front and MPSS rear) and get a matching set of all new 4 of your choice at a later time.

Thanks for the replies. Those are basically the two best options since I really dont want to buy a complete new set right now. The rear supercars are $340 each plus shipping/m&b and the used MPSS are $350 for the pair plus m&b. I like the grip of the supercars but I will probably switch to something with a tad better wear when I do buy a new full complete set.

If you're daily driving, MPSS and call it a day. Then replace all four with a set when they eventually wear out.

Interesting, I'm at 10,000 mi and my supercar3s are at 3/32 all around. I been debating the same about getting the Supersports just because I want to have longer life. I just need to also buy a dedicated set up slicks or drag radials also.

Ideally you should get a pair of supercar3's for the rear and keep going until all four are worn out, and then replace them all with the Michelins. This way you have equivalent grip on all four corners rather than two different tire compounds trying to cooperate.
In the real world, throw the Michelins on the back and just wait for the fronts to wear out.

I you guys measuring tread depth into the grooves of the tread, or into the small wear indicator holes? Tread I'm guessing..
