Both TRack and Discount are the powerhouse volume sellers, prices should be real close and near best at what you need

I bought some rims/tires from Factory Tire in Toronto and was treated well

(bought snow rims and tires for the wife's Q7, which this might only be good if you are local to them lol)

I am planning to do the same thing, swap my chromes for the black cup wheels and new tires. I have a few more miles on mine but they still appear good, however, new rims like you=new tires---enjoy

My 09 has 11,000miles and the rear tire are sitting at 6/32's still and 7/32's on the front.
No track time, but with 624rwhp I haven't been easy either.
I had the same tires on my Lexus Is-F and was down to the same wear after 4000 miles....
I think they wear very well

I got abut 18,000 miles on my first set and that included 3 weekends at Spring Mountain Track Days.

I corded the front tires, the rears still had tread on them. I don't do burn outs!

2nd set has about 15,000 and I think they will go another 10,000.

Oh yes it's a 2009.

25,000 miles to get to the wear bars on my rears. Fronts have a bit more to go still. Mileage done over 14 months with a good portion being long highway drives. No burn outs or tracking but I do have a heavy foot. I'm pretty happy with that!

My 2011 DD has over 20k miles. The rears look like they could make it to 30k. Not so for the fronts as typical for any modern corvette. I expect cord break-thru sometime in the next one or two thousand miles. These PS2's are far longer lasting then the GY SCs I had on the 06Z. The SCs were pretty much bald at 15k.

I have 1800 on my cup street/strip tires and they are nearly done. Never at a race track and have had no more than 4 or 5 street races.

Lots of people go with the Nitto Invo's for ride quality, mileage and noise. They are great but aren't ZP's. Good in all weather conditions.... Since My wife and I take long and sometimes remote road trips, we stuck with the PS2ZPs. Besides, they say you can't hear the tires if you have headers and cam... and nothing hooks up
