Agreed ...my RE92's have lasted 36,000 miles and have meat left. I am not exactly nice to them either.......but your right about the sucking.

yep, i think the 615s are pretty good for the average spirited canyon driver though. if you drive the backroads like you would at a national auto-x event for a duration of time on hot tarmac, yea they will get slippery and need a cool down ;x

If your tires have lasted 36,000, you are being nice to them

My last set of 615's lasted 6K

tirerack has an ebay site, and with the live.com+ebay+paypal cashback thing, you can save some money

i just checked and it's only 8% right now, but hopefully it goes back up to 20-30%
