Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Should I stay with S04 Pole Position or get anything else?

Still undecided between the S04 and RE11. My heart wants to try the RE11 since I've never owned an extreme performance tire before and now I have the right car to experience that, but my head says keep it sane and get more tread life

. All decisions in life boil down to the tug of war between these two, don't they..

So today its been exactly one month since I got the car. I looked at the odo and I've put on exactly 620 miles this month. Its a second car (intended to be a weekend car), and I will continue to do my office commute in the other car. I guess I will end up driving the Z between 8K to 10K miles a year, so my guess reading other threads is that I can expect perhaps 10K miles on a set of RE11s (and perhaps 15 to 18K if I go S04).

So really boils down to.. do I want to have more fun and replace the tires same time next year, or stay with S04 and get two years out of them?
