Nuts, never heard of going tires like that. I get at least 30K out of tires, is it brand? Treadwear ratings? Oh yeah...those make a huge difference.

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
Yeah-the C63 has some "agressive" toe and camber on the rears-I've seen other guys get 5k out of them-it might be that he isnt letting them heat and wear prop with the same drive 1 mile each day-and it could depend on the road, road temps, ect. I've seen summer rubber here in MN get shot in 2k miles (when it was 20 and lower temps).
I kinda think its one of the pay to play costs-kinda like modding.....

yeah i think the c63 suffers from a kind of camber sheer at the limit. The top gear guys already sheered off parts of the rear tire just from tracking it for 34miles.
