I have to put 1k miles on mine and get them road force balanced before they are photo ready.

I wore my rears down to the cords, but they lasted 25k, since I have a Tip.

Ed,
I don't really have an opportunity to break the 911 loose around here. Fun is flooring it on the on ramp before I have to slow down into traffic. But when I had a stick on my Boxster S, I found myself sideways a few times.

Found a place here in the San Gabriel Valley called Tire Central. Their prices can't be beat! I tried emailing that guy from tire rack but he never responded.

Tire central is one of the best places. I have been there multiple times with hi end rims and never a problem.

Its worth a trip out- BUT they are BUSY and plan ahead.

Ask for Donald and let him know Leonard with NSX/SL sent ya!

Yeah, Donald and his crew are great! Really friendly and really professional! I recommend them to anyone who needs tires!

p.s. the Tire Rack guy got back to me (like, after a week!) and his price for the tires were higher than what I got them for in Tire Central!
