Come on now Blake, your not going to push hard enough to eat a set of tires in a weekend, noone has ever done that...have they I'm sure some "spirited" driving will not ruin your tires and besides, you don't have to replace them with $300.00 per tires you know, theres many choices out there when the time comes




eh, i'm not *really* worried about it - but i wouldn't be surprised if a couple of good, "spirited" runs might wear down at least the shoulders of the tires pretty noticeably. of course, the rear of the G35 has so much negative camber from the factory that my rears may actually wear evenly....

i'll probably replace the pilot sports w/ toyo T1S's when the time comes, but those aren't a whole heck of a lot cheaper than the pilot sports. the joys of 18" performance tires....
