just tell them you want it set up for what you want....handling or tire longevity

they should be smart enough to get it working good for you.

So...which one is it? Do you want your tires to last or have your car handle better?

yeah, you cant get the best of both worlds,........and i dont get why people say their rear tires get ate up on uk spec,...mine was uk spec and i got 19k out of my re01r's and that is with daily driving and mountain runs every week.
they were bald when i replaced them.
