And not to thread hijack, but since your question has been answered, does anyone have any opinion on Kumho Ecsta tires?

That's awesome CT! 41K is freakin' remarkable!

Mine lasted 25K before I got my new rims and gave my OEM's to my cousin. He ran on the OEM's for another 7K I think, so 32K on PS1's. I thought that was good, but 41K has to be a record on the continental's.

Yea, but you have to consider that he drove them way beyond the condition that a normal human being would. Plus, he drives like a girl.

these are only the fronts. the rears i had to replace after about 20 or 25k. i left the conti's on the rear for now so i can get some donuts and burnouts in without wasting the new tires...
