What did you do with your Z today

Mt Tam I am · 08-04-2011, 09:45 AM

I got my Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires yesterday. Thank you Onzedge for your recommendation. I had 7250 on my original Bridestones. This is the most expensive set of rubber I've ever owned at $1680 with an alignment. Thats $0.23 per mile. The day I bought the car I remember asking myself "I wonder how much 19" tires will cost?", knowing that increasing from 16" to 17" added a bit.

Oh well you pay to play and I am playing.

7250?!?!?!
That's playing hard!

When buying my Z, I knew what I was getting into as far as tyres were concerned. The week I picked up my car, I labeled an envelope "tyre fund" and put it on my dresser next to where I keep my keys. Every day when I come home from work, I make a contribution to the envelope so that I'm not worried about the price tag when it's time for new rubber. I love having a job where I get tips!

Very clever to plan ahead.

I am going to Sears point Infinion Raceway for the Jim Russell School on how to drive your own car properly. My tires were below the tread limit so the timing was perfect. The chances of getting 7250 miles out of these new tires will be reduced by my track day Aug 20th.

Great job

I'm really liking the ducktail trend, it makes me nostalgic for 80's era 911's.
