However if you like me and your hanging corners everywhere you go and drive hard you'll get two summers from a set if you do 3-4k a year on the car.
My talon is worse. I have to buy new rear tires and rebuild the transmission and a new clutch every year. I have come to grips with that and just do it anyway.
If all you have to do is buy a set of $600-900 tires every other year, thats no big deal honestly. Plus you get to do crazy burn outs every other year now. When you know your gonna change up the tires, smoke the pair you have on the car now off in some crazy burnout/donughts in style, get some sweet pics and post them up for the rest of us to see. Thats always good for a laugh. I'll be doing this in the fall...
