For myself, that is a LOT of mileage on a true "Hi-Performance" Street/Race tire.

My Hayabusa has 10K on the clock and is on it's 4th rear tire.......and 2nd front.............

If my -55 Gives me 10-12K, I will not complain...........It Is What It Is, IMO.

Why do you keep calling it -55?

You aren't talking about all cars that have the 55 engine in it, you are talking about yours specifically, and your is an SL55.
