However, there are countless people on this website pissed that these cars come with such terrible tires. They have some of the worst treadwear of any tire available, are the most expensive street tire you can get (which is why virtually no one re-buys PZero's once the stockers die) and everyone knows they shouldn't be running them in the cold, yet most do because they don't want to spend $1,000 on new rubber when they own a new car to begin with. That's a terrible excuse. Real-world performance matters, and when it comes to real-world performance, good all seasons are going to smoke a summer only tire.

The market for summer only street tires don't make much sense. They fail in most real-world conditions and aren't very good on a track, either. Sell the car with proper all-seasons, then if you want a track tire buy an actual track tire. A summer only street tire is the most useless tire of all because they fail to do anything well.

I noticed that you have General AS-03 tires on your car. How do you like them? They are significantly lighter than the PZero's.
