2 years down the road

[TX blue GT]

Good afternoon Stinger fans! I haven't spent much time online with everything that's been happening the last couple of years. I'm enjoying my 2019 GT & have learned a thing or two along the way. As I posted a while back, it has several modifications. I had to remove the Eibach lowering springs as they were allowing the car to scrape the ground on some of the steep inclines around here. I put it back to factory specs & haven't had a problem since. I've put 16,000 miles on it and the next couple of issues I am tackling are the top & the tires! I love the original micro blue, but the previous owner had a black wrap put on the top, which has become dull and is starting to crack. I'm in the process of removing it but it's fighting me every inch! As for the tires, the dealership I bought it from put new tires all the way around. I still have the original Michelin Pilots on the front, but I'm on my 4th set of tires on the rear! I've tried Continentals & Pirellis. I don't drive the car every day. Just occasional weekend trips or running errands on a nice day. I play a little bit but don't drive it too hard. Any suggestions for longer lasting tires? I also discovered that there's no spare. I'd gladly trade those Eibach springs for a good spare tire!

Re, consider the pilot sport all seasons. They're about 90/95% of the PS4's. Verify alignment is correct. Ease up on the throttle.

I have the awd gt, but still goes through the rears about twice as fast as the fronts.. but still got about 27k miles out of the rears on the pilot sport all season 4's. And we are not easy on the throttle on launches and the twisties.

lol, on fourth set of rear tires and original fronts? go on, your definition of 'play a little bit' needs rewording. two for one is the normal replacement ratio of rears to fronts on the awd. rwd is probably worse. no spare, that's weird, what is that space used for, air? you should get a donut in there.

i'm guessing, he got it used and possibly the previous owner took it out.... either after a flat and never put it back in ... or to reduce weight....
