Are they quieter than stock? I'd like to hear my exhaust more! :yum: :icon17:

True, they are not cheap. The way I look at it is that they will definitely go longer than the stock Bridgestones and outperfom most everything except for maybe the RE-11 or S04 Pole Position, maybe. I have 10,500 miles on them and still around 6 to 7/32" on the tread. I fully expect to go beyond 20,000.

That's good to hear. Any track days at all? I'm hoping to get 20k out of mine and hoping the re-11s I plan to get afterwards will last a little longer than people report.

Debated on getting a aftermarket oil cooler after I just got her fluids changed at the dealership.

Ok folks..it's time to get my ride some new shoes! I just made the decision and Im starting to weigh the pros and cons! :excited:

Conti?
RE-11?
RE-50?

Suggestions?

:iagree: with Mr.onzedge, otherwise, why not thinking about Continental DW?? I haven't driven with it but have a set coming for my 19, people who used them all say it is quieter than the OEM and it's a decent tires for DD.

:tiphat:

Wow, the Pilot Super Sports are pricey! Over $100 more for the set than re-11s! What are the pros for these over the RE-11s? I have been under the impression that those are tops for grip and performance (along with ad08s).

:tup: I know. it sounds like BS, but it's the truth. The most wear I have is on the very inside edge, due to the slight factory neg camber.

No track days yet, but there's an opportunity to go driving on Daytona International Speedway that I might go for! :icon17:

Wow! Went to bed, got up, fed the dogs, fixed the coffee and I'm still the first to post here this am! :eek:

Getting ready to slide her outta her warm bed and take her for a drive! :tup:
