Not that more tire is necessarily bad, but then you have all sorts of internet experts claiming X is better than Y because it hit 3g's on the skidpad due to 600mm tires..

Most the top tier track weapons are using similar semi-R "street" tires so how is that apples to oranges? It's not like someone showed up to the game and measured all their metrics on a fresh set of Michelin Blue slicks.

The actual tire on the ACR is R-compound-esque (ie, it has the same or more grip than some R-compounds). It's not semi-R - it is an R-compound (in terms of grip) but supposedly lasts longer.

If you get 5k miles on the tires you are doing well, or just driving it too slow.

I strongly disagree with the "racecar for the street" thing you guys are saying, but I'm totally swamped at work and can't devote too much time to it. So just understand that I think you all suck but it'll be a few days before I can explain why. Haha.
