Am I the only one getting screws in my sidewall?

That's why I got the Hankooks I figure the less the tire lasts the softer the compound and that was my best option at 280 as opposed to the stock

I here you man you have to do what you have to do! Just be careful if your pushing the limits of the car in the twisties with that tire setup. That is a bummer about the screw, did you need new rear tires anyways?

Nah man they're good I haven't been grinding these tires out much like I said it's stock so I don't go crazy in the canyons... Tires didn't even have 7k yet I'm pretty sure they should last up to like 20k or so. You have a bad *** Z by the way, I've only barely seen maybe a handful of z's out in my area and only one was modded up nice with an amuse kit other than that everyone is stock. Some clean z33's here and there though.
