Cry in front of the people who bought you the car. I'm sure he will grant you a set of new tires.

Depends on your miles. I'm still good at a little over 8k - one track day and two days aggressively driving in the Smokies.

Mine are almost to the wear bars and have almost 10k but they don't seem as grippy as they were at 5k

Started my tire fund. Another $2300 and I'm there. Ugh. I have 3 sets of wheels. Jez- My NEWEST MPSC's are from 0911. PCA will be coming out with new tire age perimeters for DE I'm told.

How can this be both the worst thread on Rennlist AND the best thread on Rennlist all at the same time?

Very entertaining indeed.

It's Dickensian: "it was the best of threads, it was the worst of threads, it was the thread of wisdom, it was the thread of foolishness..."

Another epic thread by marv8==D

Did your benefactor buy you those HRE's as well?

This is too much fun!
