You just wait Helfrich, soon you'll be burning threw a set of tires in a weekend, then you'll be spending $14,970 on rubber alone!

I used to be able to get 20 heat cycles out of a set, then 16 heat cycles, and now 10 heat cycles are about the max before the car starts pushing... Last time I was at Willow with 12 heat cycle tires, the car was pushing so badly threw the omega, I had to rotate the steering wheel over 180 degrees in order to make the apex at four!

But hey, as Marty told me, you could always go slower!
