Default Re: other Tyre options for SRT-6 ?

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).
DON'T KNOW! I've got 15,500 miles on mine and the rears are only about 1/2 way to the wear bars. That's even with doing burnouts at the dragstrip and driving aggressively on a regular basis. I won't complain after hearing your experience. There is no way I would consider shelling out $380 for a tire that is only going to last about 9,000 miles. Now, if they do end up lasting to 22-25,000 miles, then I would probably buy them again.
