They are exactly the same as the Bridgestone Potenza RE-003 in Japan. I found this out from a co-worker, like the best kept secret in UHP tires with regards to pricing.

I might give them a shot if they work that well. I saw complaints in the reviews of them wearing out after 12k-15k miles, but others were reporting upwards of 30k miles, so it's hard to say how long they would actually last.

If you can milk 15k miles with occasional track days I say that's good value. I've also read that at least here in Canada, Potenza RE-71R in stock size is relatively cheap as well for a double duty street / track tire. I think the Bridgestone rebate ends this week.

I went with Yokohama Advan Fleva in stock size. If I can get 25k miles of purely spirited street driving then I would be very impressed.

Everything is getting expensive. I crossed the border and went to Napa in Niagara the other day to buy the last 6 qts of Eneos Sustina 0W-50 at the store and it cost me $145CAD (used to be around $90CAD) ouch! If I were to get them at my local Napa it would come out to $176CAD!!! No wonder my mechanic said pretty much no supplier would carry Sustina anymore just the standard Eneos oil. SMFH!

nothing worse than sitting in a meeting, trying to hold back a fart that is holding back a shit ... so far no stank ... but we're getting closer to touching cotton.

Well if you haven't noticed the older guys here don't usually have an issue with the younger ones. If this guy coaches I would expect he won't either. Maybe we can talk Hum into coming and they can talk about their favourite dinasours they kept as pets.

Fortunately we have someone else that qualifies as "Sexy Young and Wild" visiting summer kickoff to tide us over.

Summer wheels, man. I'm sitting on a 245/40 so mine are a bit more expensive. But, from my research most decent alternatives are around $400-$500, so not bad. I doubt I put much more than 5k miles on a season so 3 seasons for $400 ain't bad.

Oh, I can. I'm just cheap haha but I wouldn't cheap out. I'd definitely get middle of the road stuff.
