Lesson learned. The tires actually griped very well. I am a redneck and I probably would drive dragster to work if I had one.

This is probably a little to late for you, but this tire only has a 100 wear rating. It is classed as a track tire. The only people I know running these are using them in DE and autocross. If you read around the site you would see that. There are a lot of tire references. Tire rated 200 and lower won't last over about 10000 mile on a Porsche they have higher than average camber and can't be rotated due to front rear size variation. I run similar tire on track If I drive more than 25 miles to the event. I trailer the car.

Yeah, you should have bought the Pilot Super Sports, or if they're not available in your size, PS2's.

You are an awesome sport opus! It is ok to drive the dragster to work, just don't ******************** about it

I won't mention too much about the Cup tires since others have already, but you are actually lucky to have gotten 3000 miles out of them.:dance:
