Seriously. Not trying to praise the V12s but they seriously deserve more credit than 6.8K miles...

TypeOne,

What was different on your suspension setup when you had RE050as vs the V12s?

22k on RE050as almost sounds like you had a stock setup or near a stock setup majority of the tires life.

6.8k on the V12s sounds like you had a major suspension switch.

I also got 22k out of the stock tires. It was a stock suspension and I made 12 passes in the 1/8th. The insides of the tires wore out first and threads were showing. If the stock alignment was adjusted to get rid of the negative camber I could have gotten more miles out of them I think.

For what it's worth, I'm a little over 27k miles now and still on my stock RE050s.

looks like the conti's would be great tires...

I'm searching for a good local price on those.

Got a price for the super sports... we'll see how much of a premium they are versus the conti's

thanks for all the help.
