The original build sheet was included from seller.The only issue has been a slow leak in the RR tire. It looses about a pound a day and I have been nursing it along. There was no sign of anything in the tire so I brought it in for a look. winds up the tire was probably driven flat by the prior owner as the inside bead was badly cracked and compromised.
Question: I would prefer not to run 2 different tread designs and now with 8k miles on the existing Bridge/potenza REO50 i definetly don't want to put just 1 tire on. As a daily driver in South Florida whats the best tire recommendation.
Yes I have put the Stillen G3 and the exhaust is sitting in the box awaiting this weekend for installation.
This question comes up a lot. What tire to use. First use the search bar. A lot of people like RE-11's I loved them but after 8k miles I am already switching to another brand. You need to list your driving habits and think about the purpose of your tires i.e. how often you plan to track the car. Obviously you should never run different tires on the vehicle, and as you pointed out it would be wise to replace them both but if your gonna do that do the front too.
