So you spend a lot of money, often. That works!

Reminds me of the old Yokohama A509s I had on my VW GTI... (I think at
the time they were the next step down from the A008 which was the big
badass performance tire back then) I wore those suckers out in about 15K
miles! But they *did* stick... and did surprisingly well in the snow
for a supposedly summer-only tire (yes, I had snow tires... but I didn't
realize it could snow in freakin' October in Cleveland!)
