I'm just trying to be economical with my purchase, some of us watch our fianaces cause we don't have mommy and daddy to provide( not assuming that you do). And to be honest my M3 handles much better than the G, it's that the G looks so much better.

Where do you live? Because I live in the Orlando/Tampa area and the roads here suck so bad,. Driving on I-4 probably eats away my tread 5X's faster compared to a regularly paved street would. So I probably should have been more specific about tread life and driving conditions.

I rarely drive my car hard. On my old car (which was no where near a sports car), I got 20k miles out of my Falken GRB tires and they were as bald as can be. That was when I didn't drive on I-4 that often.
