Holy moly!

I was looking at what it's going to cost to eventually replace my tires, and the best price I could find for a set of new tires is over $2,000! Is that joke?!?! The damned tires don't even last 10,000 miles.

What the hell am I supposed to do finance my tires? Anyone have alternative tires I should use? I don't track my car at all. Would garden variety Pilot Super Sports suffice?

Research maintaince costs before purchasing any car especially high end ones. Next you budget in these costs over the years of potential ownership. If you can't afford to replace tires you might want to rethink owning a GT3 until you can. What did you expect a set of tires to cost on a 150k vehicle ?

LOL It is the price to play the sticky tire game. Perhaps, if not tracking, you should have immediately removed the Sport Cups, sold them, and purchased the Super Sports. Yes....Super sports are excellent for daily driving.

Wait until you have to replace the PCCB rotors.:O

To play you must pay. Go with the MPSS as some have suggested

What's that? Now I'm scared...

I guess that's a good point. I just don't really have much money. I'm a college undergrad and don't really have substantial income.

Don't mind me asking but if you're a college undergrad, how could you afford the car in the first place? Will totally understand if you ignore my question.

I would be ecstatic if the tires lasted 10k miles. Very odd complaint for someone who has a GT car.

Don't worry, your car doesn't have PCCB rotors.

I just graduated college in December and getting my car this week. I have some money saved up from previous internships, and my plan is to use that for all extra costs for the car like services and tires and stuff, and probably just keep dumping some money to keep that account ready for any possible costs!

I'm happy if the Sport Cups last 5000 miles!

Marv800

I can't really say how without causing issues, but it was 100% within the law. Think of it as kindof a gift.

You do know about the spark plugs every 12k mi, right?

I did save some by doing my front pads for the first time today- a bit of a pain especially the bracket bolts and I got optimoly goo from the CLs everywhere...
