OEM tire replacement...avg tread life?
Curious when to replace the factory tires. Just turned 53K miles. Dealer suggested in 3-5K miles, but the treads still look good.
Also, any opinions/experience with the Falken 452s?

Should check tread depth - UK legal limit is 1.6 mm across 3/4 of the width.
Recent tests done by an Auto magazine and TV show showed much reduced stopping power on wet surfaces at 3 mm.
So use that as a recommendation and guideline.
