To funny on the tires (harder/longer tread life),

Hence most of use are running super sports or super cups to get the most grip we can, and truth be told, if R6's didn't heat cycle out so fast, or just to thin/puncher prong to get a flat on the streets, we would be running them instead.

Point blank, with the 15K rear/30K front wear warranty on super sports, it only runs around $2k to get 30K out of them.
Note, if you are not going to push the car hard enough to get even wear, have the front end Pfadt street aligned.

Hence you end up wearing both out around the 15K mark under the limitation year wise mark, but since the fronts are still under wear warranty, they replace the fronts and you just have to buy a new set of rears.

And again, make sure that you have the correct alignment for the way you are driving. You need the tires to wear evenly to get the wear warranty.

For tires on my Z51 optioned car, I went with Continental Extreme Contact DW's from Tire Rack. Sale price at the time was $634.26 delivered to my house. Another $100 for mounting and balancing at my local tire shop. BIG improvement over the original Good Year's.
