By the way, HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU BURN THEM UP IN 8,000 MILES!!!
I've got 15,500 on mine, and from the looks of them I should get at least 22,000-25,000 out of them, and I RUN the car at the track and autocross...
I could say - HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THEM LAST THAT LONG !!! I do enjoy flooring it off the mark with traction control off (I do limit the wheel spin though by quickly applying about 25% throttle and once moving floor it). I think I will be very luck if I get to 9,000 on this set though. and at £250 per tyre (tire you all of you across the big lake) it's not cheap ! ... it is fun though.
From my understanding with the "Extra load" issue. I was told the SRT-6 runs these as the tyre (tire) wall is stronger and as such offers better handling and a firmer ride and it is worth spending the extra few £ over the standard tyre (tire).
