Tires still have 50% tread and been at the tracks alot.(road course and drags) So the tires are wearing better than expected. Broke a cv joint hitting 2nd hard (6000 rpm's) going up an on-ramp at around 12000 miles. Dealer only had it for 1-1/2 days and fixed it under warranty. Changed the brake pads to Hawk Performance Street pads at 12000 miles, old ones still had 75% on them, but the Hawk pads have alot less dust, and bite better, handle heat better.
That's good news about the tires. I'm hoping the tires last until 18k-20k miles. How much did the new pads cost? Put them on yourself?
