....I doubt tires will last 100k miles. And I mean that on the most well-maintained/inflated/balanced/rotated tires. I wouldn't bet on 100k, lol.
50k, maybe. That being said, if I COULD get these tires to last, say 3 years... well $1,200 every 3 years is MUCH more manageable that $1,200 a YEAR. After install and balance and all, $44/mo is do-able, and MUCH easier on my mind than $133/mo.
I'd like to know people's experiences/history with tires on their 6s, mainly from those who ONLY commute/general travel.

My buddy, who is a big ass cheapskate, puts Lexani tires on his Ferraris.
They're like $75 a tire in size large enough for an FF. Tires are rated for 186mph and he regularly bring it into the 130s-140s on rallies. He doesn't mind doing burnouts with them either obviously.
I also drove that car through what we thought was a tornado. Tornado warnings in that area all day and the rain was hitting the windshield fast enough that the wipers couldn't keep up. Tires were fine though...
Not what I'd put on my car, but if you're cruising around town, they're good enough for a ferrari...
