Hey,
Noticed a bunch of tire marks on my driveway. The marks are by the single garage door entrance, where I carefully pilot the beast in and out. Entry is rather tight, about 4 inch each side.
The house is new and the concrete driveway still has fresh grit lines.
Anyone experience this?
Looks really messy and I don't like losing rubber. Prefer to lose rubber the old fashioned way.

My Audi A6 has Goodyear F1 DS-G3 tires and I found V-shape tire marks on my asphalt driveway and on the street in front of the driveway all the time. I haven't notice any from the Bridgestone RE-050A's on my BMW yet.
