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.

On new concrete, you can expect some tire marks from turning the wheels.

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.
