I did have problems this winter, but I also got 2 tires that need to be replaced. True this is my second set in 2 years, but I am driving like I stole it. 
Down side I cant do a screaming burn out. I got the touring s on my sidekick and I can do a mini burn out, then it grips.  |
The envigors are pretty wild.
I had ultra high preformance W speed rated "S4" tires on the camaro for a while.
I could barely do a burn out they were so grippy. Way too much tire.
Think I am going to tone it down and put envigors on it.
My friend gets about 50k miles on a set of S4 tires on his 4th gen camaro with a V6 engine.
They don't drive the camaro a lot so about the time the tires start to side wall crack they are warn out.
