Why the hell are you so expensive? The inside of my Falken Azenis ST115's are bald. They are only 1 month old. DAMN YOU!!!!

Gonna have to stick to the cheap tires from now on....especially if I want to wear them down like Funk does....

I bet that oval is horrible on tire wear.

2 huge, long, sweeping, deep angle left turn drifts OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

that and people who expect tires to last but don't expect to put the money into getting alignments first realize taht without alignments, tires don't last at all!!

Keep in mind people were actually on the gas at this event, smoking their tires in second gear, not just spinning around on these small tight corners, but actually sustaining drift.

i didn't notice any unusual tire wear.

Alignment suggestions? Should I keep the negative camber?

Ya, I have negative camber in the rear.
I have Tein coilovers, and have some inside tire wear.

I remember seeing this a long time ago.
I plan on just having it aligned when I get new tires.

Hence the reason for the mustang wheels and shitty tires. :)

Anybody else try goodyear eagle RS-A?
Dunno how the high powered car would like them, but I had a used set for rears for Hialeah practice, Hialeah practice, dday3, and Hialeah competition....they aren't blowed up yet, but I think I'll change them out for dday5...they're definitely starting to look ugly.

For reference, the two Hialeah practice = 3rd gear on a small oval track....Hialeah comp was 2nd gear on same track.

Granted, there is a stock KA powering the tires, so don't expect to go out there with 300+ hp and think they'll last forever :)...they're worth a look if you don't mind their grip level though.
