Still undecided between the S04 and RE11. My heart wants to try the RE11 since I've never owned an extreme performance tire before and now I have the right car to experience that, but my head says keep it sane and get more tread life . All decisions in life boil down to the tug of war between these two, don't they..

So today its been exactly one month since I got the car. I looked at the odo and I've put on exactly 620 miles this month. Its a second car (intended to be a weekend car), and I will continue to do my office commute in the other car. I guess I will end up driving the Z between 8K to 10K miles a year, so my guess reading other threads is that I can expect perhaps 10K miles on a set of RE11s (and perhaps 15 to 18K if I go S04).

So really boils down to.. do I want to have more fun and replace the tires same time next year, or stay with S04 and get two years out of them?
