It's just part of sports car ownership. The guys driving the Viper ACR or Porsche GT2 have to spend neary $600 each on the rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and those will typically last less than 5,000 miles (tread wear rating 80).


The flip side is they could save $250 a tire put RE050a's on it and make their ride that much squirrelier and dangerous.
