me and "bob" use up one brand new pair of rear tires a day. it really depends on what tire you buy. i can basically last all day on a rear new pair of falken st115's. but it also depends on your driving. i always try to pace myself and not let the tires get too hot and gummy. there is plenty of time during the day, trust me.

I got my car from another owner, so the rims I have now are what he put on there, I don't have any of the stock parts.
I need a place that sells tires cheap, then maybe I can find some cheap rims somewhere to use for drifting.
