I have to agree. This may be one of the five best sports cars under $100K made in the last 10 years. The $400-500 difference in performance between 'adequate' tire and an ultra high peformance tire seems like a strange area to skimp on considering how much testing and engineering went into this particular car. I understand that durability is an issue but sports cars are inherently tough on tires because of loads they toss around. An extra $400 a year may seem like allot every year but Some people will spend that much in one weekend going to dinner/drinking with their friends. And tires can be the split second difference that avoids a big crash.
GRIP!!
