My tire dilemma just started. My 1LE now has 13k and I'm looking at my 3rd set of rears. After the break-in period I had a lot of fun and had to get 2 at 9k. I stuck with the GY F1 just because I like the looks and didn't do any research. They were 250ea at the time and now are around 350. I just had a patch done and the tire place says I need 4 tires soon. Not sure how I feel about this. I don't track or corner hard on ramps yet only get 13k on the fronts? How do I really gauge the wear and replacement time on these tires? Also, if I do need 4 this soon I'm considering a different tire. I live in Michigan where I won't see too much of the prime weather for the Eagle F1 tires. The quote I received was on the BFG G-force comp 2. Does it really matter or is there a best option for all-purpose driving? I like to push the limits sometimes, but not near as much as I like to just cruise around. I'm open to all options including slight size changes provided it doesn't compromise the appearance of the car.

I'm going back to the GYs as soon as I can, they don't last very long but I really miss them. I went with Michelin AS3's for winter. These are awesome in rain and snow but now that we're warming up, I can't rip turns like I could with the GYs!

Funny in winter the car makes more power due to colder temps but blows the tires off cause its cold. Summer it's over 110 and makes less power but sticks like glue cause the tires are melting lmao. Ugh we're never happy.

I'm glad I switched to the PSS. May not be the best at the track, but they are better daily driver in about any climate in my opinion. Drove the car all winter in Ohio except when the roads were snow covered.
Goodyears wrapped in basement. Still plenty of life left at 10k.

Michelin making 285-35-20 pilot sport A/S 3's
Just installed the A/S 3's on my 2014 RS 2SS 1LE and love the ride and less noise, but still have great handling and when driving on cold tires, you can accelerate without braking loose like you're running on bowling balls. Much improved traction. I hated breaking the tires loose at 75 going on the interstate. Plus I hope to get more than 15K on this set.
