Hmmmm...Well...

I shopped around a little for different brands, the Nitto's Were by far the best value for tread life. Hopefully I have better luck with the width of the tires, Don't know if it will make a difference, But that comparison was done on the Invo's... and I went with the NTs. Invo's are Z rated, whereas the NTs are V rated... but I don't see myself breaking 139 MPH anytime soon. I may try to hit the track for 1 last run Wednesday before I ditched the Pirellis... if anyone's interested in coming out

I only got 13k outta the first set. I'm willing to forgo a little performance for some better tread life... my track days are about done. I also wanted to go a little bit wider for cosmetic reasons, and I was limited in selection with my rim size

Got ya. I have 11k on mine and I'm probably half way through. Lot less likely to want to do burn outs in an auto....

I've got over 20000 on mine with plenty tread left. Racing kills tires.

Not on the stock Pirelli's! I think they only come w a 5,000 life expectancy! Lol

Tonys Continentals have a 40k tread life, my new Nittos have a 35k... 420 on the actual rating... I wanna say our original are 220... I can probably eek another 2k outta the Pirelli's to make an even 15k, but that's pushing it. With almost double the rating, and now that I've "settled down" a bit in my driving style, I should easily get 35-40k outta the Nittos.

Your granma has your bank account as a backup. Problem is I didn't steal it, payments are a bitch. Ain't got it like you Mike.:blackver tshift:
