[quote=Even Money;4008820]Just one review. How hard do you drive? I'm having a set of v12 installed as I type. I've heard lots of positive reviews so I'll see how it goes. Plus someone I trust highly recommended these.[/q


I DO drive hard, just what the C63 is meant for! Not like a maniac hard or anything.... Ya, when I first installed them I liked them, and for the first month they were great. But only after 3000 miles they feel shi**y. I drive the car now the same way I drove with the pirelli's, and the pirell's felt good all the way through.

Yes exactly, fun is what I try to have. Bought this car to have fun, go to meets, enjoy with friends, and once in a while a nice burnout is always fun. I dont sit in my garage and MOD all day like others do(super), I try to go out and enjoy the beast.

We have seasons up in the Northwest. We mod in the Winter, race in the Spring/Summer.

Pacific Raceways opens next week!

My tires are just waiting on my lightweight wheels . . .

Waaaaat? You mean you don't race in the winter time??? Blasphemy! I've been practicing drifting on the wet I5 corridors for the past 3 months, yo! "If You Ain't Outta Control, You Ain't In Control."

Oh, and sexxy tiressss.

I don't have measuring tool on hand, but I would say less than half. There's still tread left bbut they feel bald, that's how bad these tires are.

Sucks to hear your dissappointment. I'm gonna have to disagree though. I have about 2000 miles on my Hankooks V12 and love em. Matter of fact, cant wait for the piece of crap pirrellis to wear out up front to replace them with Hankooks.

It's time to suck it up and pay the extra cash for the Michelin PS2s. AFter going through tire after tire on my C32, i've realized it's worth the extra money. Just the best tires around. Check out tirerack's ratings.
