At $2k to $3k a set I am glad that most cars I've bought were already on wheels I could live with.

Man, this is ridiculous. I’m paying to put a 4TH, that’s not a typo, 4Th set of tires on my car after 22,700 miles. I don’t remember doing a single burnout on this set. Is it these high performance tires are soft? Just Goodyear’s?

Good-for-a-year.

Why do you need a soft tire for all season driving? You surely aren't driving on a race track every day.

of course not. Never took the car. I’d just kill my self out there. This mofo’s drive very fast down here on the non-professional tracks. There are some serious drivers on the track all the time, even the noob races.

We have a group of original 2015 Scat Pack Shakers owners that discuss everything. My first set l went with the general consensus was within the group, the F1’s. The second set l asked in this or the old thread. Same basic opinions. Still rolling with the F1’s.

Some have modified their cars to get the wider tires. I’m keeping my car in the same state as when it rolled off the factory floor. So that’s not an option for me. I have the widest tires on it without risking damage to my car from the tires hitting the body.

I like the softer tires because it handles better. I’ve never had a high performance car before. Want to get the full experience of handling. But, if l have go through 4 sets of tires with <23K Miles....... might have to consider a not so soft tire set next time.

That's the price of having 500+ horse power and needing to try and get it to the ground.



And they aren't going to warranty any worn out tire on that car. No way no how

ROFL again any dealer trying to get tires warranteed on that car is going to get laughed off the phone.

Especially when its his 3rd set in 22k.

Especially is its just the rears ROFLROFL

correct, I’m not getting a warranty for tires on my car. I don’t know the exact rules, just that my car is excluded. Not just excluded but according to the tire guy the last time i bought tires......no ****ing way excluded.:)

yeah the gear heads in the group say the harder tires take away from the performance and increase the risk of losing the grip on the road.

Aren't they staggered too?

Like I said. That's the price of driving that car.
