I might throw new ones on mid-trip, but I think highway driving is much different than the normal paces I put the car through.




HAHA it would be more funny if it wasn't' actually true... yes I've rebuilt my engine twice during that set of tires; one apex seal failure and one coolant seal failure . LOL I'm on my second set of RE71s now (10k on the engine so far). They are really good tires; like REALLY good tires. All that said I went with Indy 500 tires on the Porsche; higher tread wear and they seem like good tires (also I got them for $250 for the set).



I just got back from a trip to pickup a hard top, for my boxster, from SC to IL... man that was a trip had it done in 40 hours. 6000 miles gonna take more than a week off to complete that right?
