sounds like you are drinking Mooty Koolaid. Lol

BTW, their website says they are on backorder.

Also, comparisons between Michelin and Pirelli? Which is faster and which last longer?

Yes it's bitter at first...but you quickly get used to the taste.

I'd imagine Michilen quicker in both wear rate and times.

PS I saw Pirelli "DHA" at COTA. Newer tire from what I was told.

I stand on the street corner with a stack of $100 bills and some dude rolls by with a bunch of girls in the car asking what I am "looking" for. It goes down hill from there.

So I thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone uses marks for something besides heat cycles. # of cars passed while running that tire maybe?
