Any reason they don't last longer than 3 or 4K miles??
She (Mrs. "Leadfoot" MBenzman) doesn't complain about the tires, just the fact that whilst applying the kids regular g-force treatments "something is loose in the rearend on the E55 when she's accelerating from intersections".
Second alignment and 4th set of rear tires (2nd set of 275's on) in 12k. miles. As previously noted, It's getting expensive.
Other than that she loves "The Beast".

Have had my car 2 weeks now. I have the opposite issue, trying to keep her out of the car. She being born/raised in Germany her foot is almost as bad as mine. I wished she looked at me like she does the car
