So what am I doing wrong?

Okay I have the original non seal contis and I have 26K miles on my 06 300C AWD- I have been using the flashpaq for over three months. Now here's the puzzle - My contis are in "good" condition (at least half thre tread depth remaining), not at all worn out like many others have reported here- What am I doing wrong (I want to get those Goodyears, but the darn contis wont wear out!)
Should I be doing some "burnouts"?

Count your blessings, I'd say! Actually, mine are in the same shape as yours. I'm not complaining! Can you actually do a burnout in an AWD?

My contis seemed to wear OK, I cold not tale all the juking and jutting over bumps. Best move I made (other than getting the Hemi).

I hear ya 2k and am inspired by your original GY comfort treads discovery - but then there's this frugal streak in me and I'm waiting forever for the darn contis to wear out

You must be setting some kind of record with those dogs. I won'r repeat all I've said in the past about the Conti's. Of course I had the ContiSeals--maybe there's a difference. Anyway, hang in there and get as many miles as you can. Just stay off wet roads. --- Rob
