Before I forget to mention it. I store this car for the winter on the OEM wheels and drive on them only in the spring till inspection is done then I swap over to my OZ wheels with currently Dunlop Direzza Z3. Those will probably be changed to Michelin PS 5 in another year or two.
The OEM wheels still have the factory Bridgestone summer tires on them. They actually tread wise still 6 on the fronts and 7 on the rears but I felt something weird while making a turn a few days ago. Then I noticed today a clicking sound from front driver side like I had a rock or nail stuck in the tire. I checked saw nothing still made the noise so when I got home I jacked it up and spun it.....nothing but I did see lots of cracks forming on the tire below the tread. I think at about 7 years old they're dry and done and unsafe. Because I dont really drive these much only for in between storage and a few rides into work until my annual inspection (I dont want the shop dicking with my OZ wheels or their weird lug key). I went with these cheap chineseum all seasons which honestly look pretty cool visually. My buddy had them on his Veloster N for a while. Anyhow feel free to flame them or me, just sharing. 277 dollars for a set of 4 shipped to my door. I grabbed them at prioritytire website
