^^^ Dude, are you serious? I thought this was all internet hype/BS. You all must really run your cars pretty hard. Is the tire wear from jack rabbit starts or is this just from moderate driving?

If the rear alignment is not reset to the minimum toe-in spec. the O.E. rear tires well last around 5,000 to 6,000 miles WITHOUT burn outs or other abuse.

Does wanting a spare relate to the tire wear? Are you thinking of trying to rotate rears using the spare and some non-directional tires?

That's intense, what type of wax do you use? Also, couldn't you just put the skinny spare tire on to avoid having the car up on the jack?

Sorry for the naive question but what does "minimum toe-in spec" mean here?

And I thought I was crazy

Have you tried Menzurna Powerlock?
I've tried a lot of sealants on the rims and I've used the Menzurna FMJ and now Powerlock and it seems to last the longest.
I do love Zaino as well and I still use their Z6 spray religiously and consider it the best quick detail spray available--period.
I've been using the Menzurna line up (polishes and sealants) exclusively on my cars over the past 4-5 yrs.
But I still break out the Zaino every once in a while--I use to use it exclusively 8-10 yrs ago on my Bimmers

I just got a Wookie Fist wash mit and used it with my most recent wash and its awesome--I've been using Dodo Juice shampoos for 2 years and I love them.

Kudos for keeping your beast clean
Thanks for enabling my detailing addiction with your story
